The Detroit Lions have placed rookie cornerback Bill Bentley on injured reserve because of his hurt shoulder, Anwar Richardson of Mlive reports.
As a result, Detroit has re-signed safety Don Carey.
Bentley was a third-round draft pick by Detroit this season and supposed to replace Eric Wright, who signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a free agent. Lions cornerback Alphonso Smith entered training camp as the number one right cornerback, but Bentley took over that spot within a few days. Source: The Redzone Attached Thumbnails

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A year after giving Mike Thomas a new contract, the Jacksonville Jaguars are giving him a new home.
The Jaguars traded Thomas to the Detroit Lions on Tuesday for an undisclosed draft pick.
The trade makes sense for both sides.
The Lions (3-4) lost receiver Nate Burleson for the season last week, so Thomas gives them depth behind Calvin Johnson...

It forced the Lions to replace the mediocre Burleson, who was averaging 8.9 yards per catch and (5.6 yards per target), with explosive 2011 2nd round pick Titus Young and it’s also given 2nd round rookie Ryan Broyles more...
