- Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter believes that Golden Tate is due for a huge game on Sunday.
- On the other side of the ball, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin belives rookie safety Miles Killebrew will continue to see his role grow as the season progresses:

- If the Lions wanted to bring back linebacker Josh Bynes, they could do so much sooner than originally believed:
Tracked down an injury settlement number for Josh Bynes. Looks like the Lions could re-sign the LB after Week 6, if there's interest.
