- Sunday's Lions-Falcons game is sold out. This marks the Lions' fourth straight sellout to start the season.
- Ronnie Brown did not practice today and the Lions have not yet officially announced the trade. This is likely because Brown has not yet taken his physical to make the deal official.
- In any case, Brown is excited to join the Lions.
- Brown played for the Dolphins when Scott Linehan served as their offensive coordinator, so he should have some familiarity with the offensive system the Lions run.
- Justin Durant tweeted on Tuesday that he passed his final concussion test. He didn't practice today, though, and he mentioned in his tweet that he "may" be able to return this week. There are no guarantees, apparently.
- The NFL admitted that the referees gave the 49ers five free yards in Sunday's game against the Lions. Shouldn't egregious mistakes like that result in fines for officials? An admission about a mistake doesn't exactly do much.
- Versus' NFL Turning Point will examine the Lions-49ers game on this week's show. It airs at 10 p.m. on Thursday.
- Grantland's Chris Brown examined the "Wham" play that gave the Lions so many issues on Sunday.
- The Vikings have benched Donovan McNabb in favor of Christian Ponder.
- In case you missed it yesterday, the Raiders acquired Carson Palmer from the Bengals for a first-round pick in 2012 and a conditional pick in 2013.
