| 05/23/13 | DB | Louis Delmas | Knee | Lions safety Louis Delmas is rehabbing away from the team in an effort to be as healthy as he can for the start of the season. He missed eight games last year because of knee surgery and five games in 2011 because of another knee surgery. "We’re in communication with Lou," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. "He’s not here right now going through this stuff, but there’s nothing that he can get out of this because he can’t physically do the stuff that we’re doing right now." (Updated 05/23/2013) | |
| 05/22/13 | RB | Mikel Leshoure | Undisclosed | The unlucky offseason for Lions running back Mikel Leshoure continued during OTA workouts Wednesday. First, the team signed running back Reggie Bush, which dropped Leshoure on the depth chart. Then on Wednesday, Leshoure was not participating in team drills because of an injury, according to the Detroit News. "He's battling some stuff," coach Jim Schwartz said. "He can do some individual stuff but he's not ready to do any team work." (Updated 05/22/2013) | |
| 02/05/13 | WR | Ryan Broyles | Knee | According to mlive.com, Lions receiver Ryan Broyles could be in line for a breakout season. The report says that Broyles had 349 receptions, 4,586 receiving yards and 45 touchdowns in college, so it is just a matter of time before his talent kicks in with the Lions. Broyles is currently recovering from his second ACL injury in two seasons. Detroit did not add a receiver early this offseason, which means the Lions must be comfortable with Broyles' progress.

| 02/05/13 | WR | Nate Burleson | Leg | The Detroit News reports Lions receiver Nate Burleson was able to practice during OTAs this week, which was a surprise. "I wasn't supposed to; I was told not to (practice)," said Burleson, who wasn't supposed to be back from leg surgery until July. "But it's like I always told you guys, if I can walk I can run, and if I can run I can play." Burleson took part in all the drills, including 7-on-7s. "It's as healed up as it's going to get," he said. "The good thing about being out there is I am playing at a high level and I am not 100 percent. When it gets stronger and I get endurance back in it, I will be back to playing with extreme confidence." (Updated 05/22/2013) | |
| 01/24/13 | WR | Titus Young | Knee | After a tumultuous couple of seasons in Detroit, the Lions released receiver Titus Young in February, and it's telling that there hasn't been much, if any, interest in the talented, yet troubled receiver. Getting arrested twice in a 15-hour span probably won't help. But that's where Young found himself Sunday, according to the Oakland Press, when he was handcuffed a little after midnight for suspicion of DUI and again at about 2:22 p.m. when Young allegedly was trying to retrieve his black Mustang from a tow company yard. He has been charged with burglary in his second arrest after police say he was trying to take back the car that was impounded after his first arrest. (Updated 05/08/2013) | |
| 01/03/13 | RB | Jahvid Best | Concussion | Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said running back Jahvid Best could spend the 2013 season on the Physically Unable to Perform list if he is still not cleared to practice after suffering multiple concussions in the 2011 season. Best is still holding out hope that he can play football again. (Updated 03/19/2013) | |

| 02/07/13 | RB | Adrian Peterson | Hernia | In an interview with CBSSports.com, NFL Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson said he "watched a little bit" last season as Vikings running back Adrian Peterson came within 9 yards of his single-season rushing record set in 1984. "When he got so close, I had to watch some of it," Dickerson said. "But it was good. It’s always good when somebody gets close but not break. Close but not break. ... I asked him, you want that record don’t you? He said yeah, you know I want it. But it was good for the league, it was good for me, it was good for him. He’s a great player, a great guy and I hope he gets close again -- without breaking it." Dickerson said Peterson could again challenge for the record this season, but it will be tough. "Now that he got so close, the defense is going to really be after him," Dickerson said. "They’re going to really scheme for him." (Updated 04/15/2013) | |
| 02/05/13 | WR | Greg Childs | Knees | Vikings receiver Greg Childs has indeed suffered two torn patella tendons in his knees, ending his rookie season prematurely. Surgery is expected soon. Childs appeared to sustain the injury while going up for a pass near the endzone and landing hard toward the end of Saturday's practice. He was carted off the field. “You hate to see any player go down for any reason, and Greg has struggled with injuries, as we know, in college,” said Frazier on Saturday. (Updated 08/05/2012) | |
| 01/10/13 | WR | Percy Harvin | Ankle | The Seattle Times reports that new Seattle receiver Percy Harvin is already making an impact. "His talent level is unbelievable, off the charts," said quarterback Russell Wilson. "He brings an explosive mentality to the game, which a lot of our guys already have. But to have him is truly tremendous. He's a guy that's been one of the best football players in the National Football League for the past several years." Harvin, 24, has averaged 1,800 total yards in four seasons and was on pace for 2,400 yards in 2012 — which would have led the NFL — before an ankle injury ended his season. In those nine games, he had 62 catches — 12 more than any Seahawk — for 677 yards. He also had 96 yards rushing and 574 yards on kickoff returns, including a 105-yard touchdown return. The Seahawks plan to use him similarly. He'll likely line up in the slot as his regular spot, but figures to get used outside, as well, and should see his share of handoffs and kickoff returns. "I'll be moving around — pretty much all around," said Harvin. "There'll be a little bit of running back coming up. But right now, we're just trying to get the foundation set, just running the base plays, and we'll see where it goes from there." (Updated 05/23/2013) | |
