CB Wilson, Jr and WR Ellis Are Out for the Season

The Lions re-signed “Mr. Irrelevant”, CB Ramzee Robinson, to replace Stanley Wilson, Jr., who was placed upon the injured reserve list.   Robinson will likely contribute on special teams, but the secondary, already a weak spot for the team, will have some serious depth issues without Wilson, Jr.  If they suffer anymore losses in the secondary, dare I say it, considering how bad they have been, they will really be hurting.

Devale Ellis will remain on the PUP list and is also lost for the season.   Ellis’ absence really doesn’t affect much, he likely would have been released had he been activated by the Lions.   The Lions will be able to give Ellis another look during training camp next year, which given his knowledge of the offense, gives him a slight chance to make the roster in 2008.

The attrition likely will continue to mount as the season progresses, especially if the Lions season continues down it’s current path.
