- With Stephen Tulloch out for the season, the Detroit Lions are going to replace him at middle linebacker with Tahir Whitehead. Whitehead opened the season as the Lions' starting strongside linebacker, and there was speculation that weakside linebacker DeAndre Levy would move inside considering he's played MLB in the past. However, the Lions decided to keep Levy at WLB since he's played so well at that spot.
With Levy staying outside and Whitehead moving inside, Ashlee Palmer is now listed as the starting strongside linebacker.Caldwell said part of the reason for moving Whitehead to MLB instead of Levy was due to how well Levy has been playing where he is.

- The Lions really, really need LaAdrian Waddle to return soon.
Stafford is facing more pressure this year. He's being rushed about three times more per game.
