Detroit Lions CB Chris Houston (toe) underwent surgery on his toe earlier this week, and it's unknown if he'll be able to make it back in time for training camp this summer. "I'm not certain, to be honest with you," head coach Jim Caldwell said. "I kind of leave those things up to our physicians. Those guys went to school for a long time to get those medical degrees and so what I do is try to focus in on what we're doing and I let them sort of navigate through it and give me an indication of it at some point in time." Houston is expected to be one of the team's starting cornerbacks this year alongside CB Darius Slay.

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell said he is not sure if CB Chris Houston will be able to bounce back from his subpar 2013 season when he was bothered by a toe injury. "We'll see. He's a young man and typically they heal pretty quickly, unlike old guys like me. But we anticipate that he'll come along, but we'll have to just wait and see," Caldwell said.

If he cannot play in the Week 13 game Thursday, Nov. 28, against the Green Bay Packers, rookie CB Darius Slay would get the nod in his absence.

I'll just keep it that way," Schwartz said. "And we'll just see where he can get to this week and we'll try to get him back as quick as we can." CB Darius Slay would likely replace Houston if he's unable to play in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers.
