Detroit Lions news, rumors and injuriesFri, 24 May 2013 15:40:12 -0700 The Detroit Lions have released DE Braylon Broughton (undisclosed) because he failed a physical. It is not known what contributed to the failed physical. Share: Lions | Ashlee Palmer wants to keep playing on special teams Fri, 24 May 2013 14:19:21 -0700 Detroit Lions LB Ashlee Palmer said he wants to continue to play on special teams this season even if he wins the starting outside linebacker job. Share: Lions | Three splitting reps at OLB Fri, 24 May 2013 14:18:54 -0700 Detroit Lions LBs Ashlee Palmer, Travis Lewis and Tahir Whitehead are splitting reps with the first-team defense at outside linebacker during organized team activities. Share: Lions | Reggie Bush willing to return punts Fri, 24 May 2013 13:36:33 -0700 Detroit Lions RB Reggie Bush said he is willing to be a punt returner if the team asks him to handle to role. "You know, for me, I've done it before and I don't mind it," Bush said. "I feel I can still do it if I need to, and if they want me to do it, I'll definitely go out there and return punts." Share: Lions | Leroy Harris works out Thu, 23 May 2013 05:30:45 -0700 Free-agent OG Leroy Harris (Titans) worked out for the Detroit Lions Wednesday, May 22. He's not quite 100 percent following a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Share: Lions | Nate Burleson has shed weight Wed, 22 May 2013 20:49:24 -0700 Updating a previous report, Detroit Lions WR Nate Burleson (leg) showed quickness during organized team activities (OTAs) Wednesday, May 22. He has also lost weight, dropping from 198 to 192 pounds to add speed. Fantasy Tip: Increased speed will help, as Burleson fights to start opposite Calvin Johnson. Burleson could be a solid low-end WR3, must-start WR4 or flex option if he is able to secure a starting job. Share: Lions | Dylan Gandy sees first-team work Wed, 22 May 2013 20:48:58 -0700 Detroit Lions C Dylan Gandy saw first-team reps during organized team activities (OTAs) Wednesday, May 22. He has a chance to replace the departed OL Stephen Peterman (Jets), but he'll need to hold off draft pick OG Larry Warford during preseason and training camp. Share: Lions | Jason Fox, Riley Reiff work on first unit Wed, 22 May 2013 20:48:32 -0700 Detroit Lions OT Jason Fox served as the first-team right tackle, and OT Riley Reiff worked as the first-team left tackle, Wednesday, May 22, during organized team activities (OTAs). Share: Lions | Chris Greenwood practices Wed, 22 May 2013 20:48:02 -0700 Detroit Lions CB Chris Greenwood (abdominal) was able to practice Wednesday, May 22, during organized team activities (OTAs). He missed last season due to an abdominal injury. Share: Lions | Reggie Bush returns punts in OTAs Wed, 22 May 2013 20:46:51 -0700 Detroit Lions RB Reggie Bush was used as a punt returner during organized team activities (OTAs) Wednesday, May 22. WR Terrence Austin, WR Patrick Edwards, RB Steven Miller, WR Mike Thomas and WR Cody Wilson also took turns returning punts. Fantasy Tip: Fantasy owners would definitely like to see Bush off punt returns, as it is just extra chance he can become injured. Nothing is engraved in stone just yet, and Bush will still be an outstanding fantasy option, especially in PPR (points per receptions) leagues. Share: Lions | Nate Burleson takes part in workout Wed, 22 May 2013 11:52:10 -0700 Detroit Lions WR Nate Burleson (leg) fully participated during organized team activities Wednesday, May 22. Fantasy Tip: Burleson likely is the leading candidate to win the starting wide receiver job opposite Calvin Johnson. He could be worth a late-round flier in most fantasy leagues. Share: Lions | Mikel Leshoure sits out practice Wed, 22 May 2013 11:46:12 -0700 Detroit Lions RB Mikel Leshoure (undisclosed) was limited to individual drills during organized team activities Wednesday, May 22, because of an undisclosed injury. Fantasy Tip: Leshoure will be used as a change-of-pace back to Reggie Bush and likely will receive carries near the goal line and when Bush needs to rest. He could be an option in later rounds of fantasy drafts. Share: Lions | Louis Delmas not present at workout Wed, 22 May 2013 11:45:50 -0700 Detroit Lions FS Louis Delmas (knee) was not present for organized team activities Wednesday, May 22, because he likely is rehabbing in Miami. He is expected to be with the team next week. Share: Lions | Braylon Broughton claimed Wed, 22 May 2013 08:37:25 -0700 The Detroit Lions claimed DE Braylon Broughton (Saints) off waivers. Share: Lions | Calvin Johnson excited Reggie Bush is on team Mon, 20 May 2013 17:34:01 -0700 Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson is excited RB Reggie Bush signed with the Lions, because it means teams will have to defend the Lions offense differently. "It's going to force them to bring another man down, more than we had last year," Johnson said on Monday. "You know, if you don't, Reggie can make you look foolish in the open field." Fantasy Tip: An improved running game should help the Lions passing game in 2013, and Johnson may be able to get open a bit easier as a result. Johnson still remains the top wide receiver in fantasy football. Share:  |
