Lions notes: Will Nate Burleson be back this week?

• Is this the week that Nate Burleson will return from his broken arm? It doesn't look like it, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Per Rotoworld, Mortensen reported last week that Burleson will likely need "a couple more weeks at least" to get fully healthy. There's really no point in rushing him back, so this isn't a huge surprise.
