After making it into the 53-man squad for the 2018 season, he was initially the third running back behind Devontae Booker and Royce Freeman .
His debut in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks made his first touchdown in the NFL, gaining over 100 yards of space. In his second game against the Oakland Raiders , Lindsay made more than 100 yards of space, making him the first non-drafted player to do so in his first two games. He has been a starter since week 8 after an injury to Freeman. On December 18, 2018, he was elected as the first undrafted rookie to take the Pro Bowl offense .
