Lions Re-Sign Robert Callaway, Waive Injured Joe Cohen

by Sean Yuille on Aug 9, 2010 12:19 PM EDT in Detroit Lions Roster

Defensive tackle Joe Cohen was waived today. He hurt his knee over the weekend, and the injury is apparently serious enough that he is headed to injured reserve. The Lions have to let him pass through waivers first, but assuming no team claims him, he will likely be put on IR.

With a roster spot opening up, the Lions decided to re-sign Robert Callaway, who was just released on Saturday. Since Cohen's injury created a need for extra depth at defensive tackle, bringing Callaway back made the most sense.

Callaway is a big dude

Just very raw. And played against inferior competition. Maybe some time on the PS will help.

if the shoe fits...get another one just like it - George Carlin

No no, i dont think anyone could be the new cason

since cason was on and off our team for what 5 years or so. Callaway just gets a second chance, and hopefully he proves something. He wont make the roster but maybe the PS
