Jon Jansen will start at left guard for the Lions on Sunday against the Rams.
It will be the 125th start of Jansen's career, but it will be the first at guard. It's also a chance to see if Jansen, 33, has anything left in the tank after battling injuries over the past four seasons. Daniel Loper and Manny Ramirez had been manning the left guard spot previously.

The Lions are considering starting veteran OL Jon Jansen at left guard Sunday.
Daniel Loper and Manny Ramirez have manned the position so far this season and the Lions are averaging 3.7 yards per carry as a team. At 33, it remains to be seen if Jansen is still an effective run blocker.

Jon Jansen is open to playing at any position on the offensive line for the Lions this season.
Lions coach Jim Schwartz said the team will give him a look at guard, and even center. Jansen seems fine with the uncertaintity of it all. "I want to make myself as marketable as possible," he said Friday. "You've got to play all five spots if you're going to be a backup.

Jon Jansen passed his physical with the Lions Monday and formally signed his one-year contract.
The Lions say Jansen will begin working at right tackle, but could eventually kick to guard. Most likely, the ex-Redskin will wind up as a versatile reserve.

Lions signed OL Jon Jansen to a one-year, $845,000 contract.
Jansen is 33 and declining, but the Redskins shouldn't have let him get away. He is still an effective run blocker and was only costing them $1.35 million. The Lions got an even better bargain and could use Jansen at right tackle or guard, where his pass protection shortcomings would be less problematic.

Jon Jansen, recently released by the Redskins, has reportedly agreed to terms with the Lions on a one-year contract.
Jansen, 33, will sign for the veteran minimum if he passes a physical on Monday. The former Michigan Wolverine is expected to compete for the starting right tackle job with last year's first-rounder Gosder Cherilus. Both players struggled last season, but the Lions would obviously prefer if Cherilus earned the starting nod.
