Veteran free agent safety Lawyer Milloy turned down an ...

Sep 01, 2009

Veteran free agent safety Lawyer Milloy turned down an offer from the safety-needy Lions Monday after the parties could not agree on contract terms, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Milloy spent the morning in Detroit and passed a physical but the Lions would not offer a deal suitable to veteran’s liking. The Lions have been in communication with Milloy for weeks but they did not offer a contract until Monday. The former Patriots, Bills and Falcons safety has recently generated interest from other teams and could pursue those options.

Older veterans like Milloy, LB Derrick Brooks and RB Warrick Dunn could be called upon this week as teams work through injuries and prepare to shape their 53-man rosters, which have to be finalized this weekend.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
