 Phillip Buchanon - DBNov. 20 - 7:47 pm et
Phillip Buchanon and Will James have finally settled in as the Lions' starting cornerbacks.
It only took half a season for Detroit to find the "right" mix. They still have the NFL's No. 32 pass defense. The Lions targeted Buchanon to be their No. 1 corner in the offseason. He was benched early on and has regained his job, but hasn't picked off a pass all year. He has 25 tackles and a forced fumble.

 Matthew Stafford - QBNov. 20 - 5:22 pm et
Matthew Stafford (probable, knee) returned to a full practice Friday.
This is Stafford's first full practice in over a month, which bodes well for his health and Calvin Johnson's fantasy owners. Stafford was struggling to consistently connect with Calvin while battling his bum knee earlier on.
 Stephen Peterman - GNov. 20 - 4:30 pm et
Lions placed RG Stephen Peterman (ankle surgery) on injured reserve, ending his season.
By putting him on I.R. with seven games left, the Lions are essentially admitting that Peterman's ankle surgery was extensive. He probably could've came back from a "scope" in a few weeks. Peterman, 28 in January, signed a new five-year deal last offseason. He will likely return as a starter in 2010.

 Eric Fowler - WRNov. 20 - 4:28 pm et
Lions signed WR Eric Fowler off their practice squad.
Fowler looked good on the practice field in training camp, but the Grand Valley State product will focus on special teams if he's active on game days.

 Stephen Peterman - GNov. 20 - 1:33 pm et
Lions RG Stephen Peterman's ankle injury may prove season ending.
Peterman may need surgery on his right ankle, which would probably cost him Detroit's final six games. He's already been ruled out for Week 11. "He's seeing a specialist and it doesn't look good," coach Jim Schwartz said Friday.

 Louis Delmas - DBNov. 19 - 11:47 am et
Lions rookie FS Louis Delmas (infection) should be back in the starting lineup Sunday after he surprisingly was unable to play last week.
Delmas was active for the game, but his tooth infection flared up on him in warmups and he watched the entire game from the sideline. Delmas, who has been the Lions' best IDP bet in the secondary and a real bright spot, returned to a full practice Wednesday.

 Matthew Stafford - QBNov. 18 - 6:23 pm et
Matthew Stafford (knee) was limited in Lions practice Wednesday.
Stafford likely be limited throughout the week, then listed as probable on Friday. As usual, he's in no danger of missing Sunday's bout with Cleveland.
 Ko Simpson - DBNov. 18 - 12:22 pm et
Ko Simpson will likely take over as the Lions' starting strong safety for the rest of the season.
The team lost Marquand Manuel to I.R.; Simpson is next on the depth chart. Simpson beat Manuel out earlier in the year, but lost the job when he got hurt. Give Simpson a look in deep IDP leagues behind Detroit's leaky front seven, though FS Louis Delmas remains their most productive defensive back.
 DeAngelo Smith - DBNov. 18 - 11:38 am et
Lions signed DB DeAngelo Smith off the Bears' practice squad.
Smith steps in for Marquand Manuel, who is lost for the year. He'll likely play safety in Detroit's man-to-man scheme, rather than corner. Smith may have to play snaps immediately considering how banged up Detroit's secondary is. If Brady Quinn can't get first downs this week, he will reach new lows.

 Marquand Manuel - DBNov. 18 - 11:30 am et
Lions placed S Marquand Manuel (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season.
Manuel went down during Sunday's loss to the Vikings along with a host of other Lions. The team signed S Deangelo Smith off the Bears practice squad to take Manuel's place, but it's another blow to the lowly Lions. Manuel, 30, was fifth on the team with 36 tackles and had played in all nine games. He'll be a free agent after the season.

 Jack Williams - DBNov. 17 - 5:31 pm et
Lions placed CB Jack Williams on season-ending injured reserve with a knee injury.
Williams played just one game for the Lions after being claimed on waivers last week. While he's signed through 2011, he'll have to battle for a roster spot next season -- assuming he's recovered from the ligament damage in his knee.

 Melvin Fowler - CNov. 17 - 5:28 pm et
Lions signed C/G Melvin Fowler.
Fowler, a starter at center for the Bills in 2006 and 2007, will add depth with guard Stephen Peterman sidelined by an ankle injury.
Source: Detroit Free Press
 Matthew Stafford - QBNov. 17 - 10:18 am et
Matthew Stafford still doesn't put much weight on his right knee when he gets up off the ground, observes the Detroit Free Press.
Stafford's knee isn't 100 percent, but that's not the reason he's thrown six picks and three touchdowns since returning to the lineup in Week 8. He's under constant pressure with a no real weapons outside of Calvin Johnson and his running game is struggling. The rookie is taking an absolute pounding.

 Stephen Peterman - GNov. 16 - 4:38 pm et
Lions RG Stephen Peterman suffered a potentially serious ankle injury in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.
There's been no discussion of Peterman going on I.R. yet, but coach Jim Schwartz wasn't optimistic about Peterman at his Monday press conference. The Lions will install Daniel Loper at right guard until Peterman gets back.

 Jack Williams - DBNov. 16 - 3:31 pm et
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Lions CB Jack Williams is done for the year with a knee injury.
Williams likely suffered ligament damage and will undergo reconstructive surgery. The 2008 fourth-round pick was claimed off waivers just last week.

 Aaron Brown - RBNov. 16 - 11:17 am et
Lions rookie RB Aaron Brown was benched by coach Jim Schwartz for Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
Brown had been active for the team's first eight games, but Schwartz didn't like what he saw. "We haven't been getting production out of Aaron's role, and we needed to do something about it," Schwartz said. "We couldn't continue in the same vein that we'd been going." Brown went the wrong way on a screen play against the Seahawks in Week 9 and he's in the doghouse.

 Derrick Williams - WRNov. 16 - 11:13 am et
Lions WR/KR Derrick Williams injured his hip while returning a kickoff against the Vikings Sunday.
Williams hasn't been able to get going in the passing game and recorded just two catches Sunday before leaving. His status for Week 11 against the Browns is unknown.

 Jack Williams - DBNov. 16 - 11:11 am et
Lions CB Jack Williams suffered a left knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
Williams, who was just signed off waivers last week, was on crutches after the game. His status is unknown, but there's speculation it's a season-ending injury.

 Bryant Johnson - WRNov. 15 - 5:32 pm et
Bryant Johnson caught two balls for 17 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
Johnson had a touchdown pass hit him right in the hands on the sideline and he dropped it. He's just not that good of a receiver and is clearly waiver wire fodder.
 Brandon Pettigrew - TENov. 15 - 5:31 pm et
Brandon Pettigrew caught two passes for 23 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
It was a disappointing game for Pettigrew as he was coming off a seven catch, 70 yard performace in Week 9. He had a bad drop and took a stupid personal foul after a play in the first half, but his playing time was not affected. The rookie still is not close to a TE1.
