Lions notes: DeAndre Levy running again, Matt Prater could make history, more

Editor's Note: SB Nation's partner FanDuel is running a $1.2M fantasy football league on Sunday. First place wins $100,000. Join now!

• According to ESPN's Michael Rothstein, DeAndre Levy is back running and attempting to tackle. Levy also admits he thinks shutting him down long-term was the right decision.
  
  
• Ezekiel Ansah is only 0.5 sacks behind the NFL lead. No Detroit Lions player has ever finished the season leading the league in sacks. Worth noting: Sacks were not an official stat until 1982. 
  
  
• There were a couple great pieces this week on Quandre Diggs and his upbringing. Paula Pasche of The Oakland Press wrote five things to know about Diggs. Meanwhile, Mlive's Kyle Meinke described how Diggs' childhood and draft stock helped prepare and motivate him for life in the NFL.

• Joique Bell talked this week about how he earned his keep in the NFL with the Saints.
