- It turns out that Rodney Austin did in fact receive an offer from the Tennessee Titans before the Lions put him on their 53-man roster.

Ziggy Ansah is on the verge of setting some franchise records for sacks by a rookie.
- In order to make sure he takes care of the ball going forward, Reggie Bush was apparently carrying a football with him everywhere at practice on Wednesday, according to Justin Rogers.

With 4 more catches @Nate13Burleson will reach 30 on season. It'll be first time in franchise history they'll have 6 players with 30 catches

- Your daily reminder that the Lions' run defense has been ridiculous as of late:
The #Lions went all of November without allowing an opponent to average more than 2 yards per carry as a team.
