Lions | News & Notes

Mon, 16 Apr 2001 20:03:07 -0700

According to the team's official site, Lions coach Marty Mornhinweg said the team could use its first round draft pick on a QB, namely Drew Brees. He said their interest in a QB does not rest on the health of current starter Charlie Batch. Earlier reports had Batch missing some workouts because of his knee, but Morhninweg indicated that Batch is still going through his full workouts. "The knee is a non-issue at this point," Morhninweg said. "(Charlie) is working out and I just saw him a few minutes ago and he is back into his routine." The coach said they could select Brees or another young quarterback in the draft. He also acknowledged the team had other needs. He indicated the team will possibly look to acquire a TE and a pass-rush specialist in the draft. He did say offensive line is the priority. The coach added last week's signing of CB Todd Lyght had them more confident at that position.

The Ann Arbor Times reports the addition of CB Todd Lyght gives the Detroit Lions insurance in case CB Bryant Westbrook is unable to return from his ruptured Achilles' injury that he suffered late last season, which was his best year as a pro previous to the injury. Lyght thought he would end up with the Giants via free agency and was delighted when the Lions stepped up their interest. As reported, he'll serve as the team's nickel back if Westbrook is able to completely recover.
