Jon Kitna to the Injured Reserve?
The Oakland Press' Dave Birkett is reporting that Jon Kitna has been placed on the injured reserve. There were rumblings last night that this move would be made if no trades came about, so it's pretty obvious that there was little to no interest in Kitna.
What this move means for the Lions is that Dan Orlovsky is the starting quarterback for right now. It's probably only a matter of time until we see Drew Stanton unless Orlovsky wins a game for the Lions. He nearly did that against Minnesota, so we'll have to see what happens this upcoming Sunday. Should he struggle, we could have a Drew Stanton sighting sooner rather than later.
If Kitna is indeed moved to the IR, then he has probably played his final game with the Lions. His status beyond this season was in doubt anyways, and if the Lions shut him down there's a good chance that they will move on for good. If a new coaching staff comes in or one of his backups plays well, then Kitna's career as a Lion is probably over.

Jon Kitna to the injured reserve
Well, i dont know what to think about the injured reserve but, i believe it’s the best thing for this team right now ! Not thay Jon got hurt but, that he will sit out the season. The mans heart just wasn’t into it this year! I think he was frustrated with everything this year and if you don’t feel like getting on board with the program thats in place then you might s well ride the pine and take time to get taken care of by the Dr.s. Get heald up and rested and maybe look to see if you can go somewhere you want to be! Thanks Jon for all that football good and bad at differant times! watching you throw all those yards was a lot of fun! hope thing’s get better for you and the lions!
