- Here's a great anecdote from Dave Birkett: After not returning to the Lions after last season, Smith decided to rent out his house. Mikel Leshoure, who was drafted in April, is the one renting it. Because of this, Smith is stuck living with a teammate rather than in his house now that he's back on the team.
- Jim Schwartz explained the decision to bring back Smith earlier in the week. Smith also spoke about returning to the Lions.
