| 03/12/13 | DB | Brent Grimes | Achilles | The Dolphins and former Falcons defensive back Brent Grimes have agreed to a one-year deal worth $5.5 million ($3 million guaranteed), CBSSports.com NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reports. Grimes played in just one game last season because of an Achilles injury he suffered in the opener that landed him on injured reserve. Miami provided the most money in a deal, while Cleveland and Atlanta also displayed some interest. (Updated 03/30/2013) | |
| 02/10/13 | RB | Michael Turner | Ankle | The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports free agent Michael Turner plans to continue playing football in spite of not having a contract. Turner was released in March by the Falcons after failing a physical. He hurt his ankle in the NFC title game. (Updated 04/03/2013) | |
| 01/21/13 | QB | Matt Ryan | Shoulder | Matt Ryan's receiving threats are well documented and the Falcons' run game got a strong upgrade in Steven Jackson. But the offensive line is undergoing some changes as center Todd McClure retired and Tyson Clabo was released. Ryan says not to worry about it. "We've got a guy in Peter Konz that played guard for us last year, but during practice, I got a lot of snaps with Peter. Joe Hawley has played a little bit for us when Todd’s been out for a series or two throughout games the last couple of years. I’ll be fine. We’ll be fine with those guys in terms of the snap," Ryan told 790 The Zone in Atlanta. "It’s a little different and that takes some getting used to so it becomes something you don’t even think about. ... We've got Mike Johnson who has played a number of different roles for us. Then a young guy like Lamar Holmes, he’s a guy we drafted high last year that we feel really good about. He’s extremely talented and I think he’s beginning to learn the offense more and more and this offseason has been productive for him. I’m excited about those guys. I think they’re fully capable of coming in and playing good football for us. They just need to do it." (Updated 05/17/2013) | |

| 02/05/13 | WR | Ryan Broyles | Knee | Ryan Broyles is rehabbing from his second torn ACL in as many seasons. But the difference in this year from last year is that he knows what to expect from the rehab and he feels he's already an established receiver on the Lions, alleviating some pressure to prove himself. As for his timeline for when he can get back on the field, Broyles is taking it slowly but surely. "There are milestones and you set out a timeline of where you want to be and I feel like I’m in the right direction right now," he told the official website. "... I feel like I did a good job last year when I got on the field, so this time around, I can hone my skills and not have to go out there and press. I’m still hungry and I still have a lot to prove, but it’s a different aspect of it." (Updated 05/08/2013) | |
| 02/05/13 | WR | Nate Burleson | Leg | The Lions' official website reports that the starting outside receiver's role is Nate "Burleson's job to lose." The veteran is healthy after fracturing his leg last season and has the trust of the coaching staff. (Updated 05/07/2013) | |
| 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) | |
