DeAndre Levy's Status Uncertain As Lions Prepare For Opener

ALLEN PARK (AP) — Detroit  Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy was not participating during the portion of practice open to reporters Monday, and coach Jim Caldwell says it's not certain if he'll play in Sunday's season opener at San Diego.

Caldwell would not discuss the particulars of what's been keeping Levy out of action, saying an injury report would be due Wednesday. Defensive tackle Caraun Reid and guard Larry Warford, both of whom have been dealing with ankle injuries, were also helmetless at practice.

The Lions put rookie cornerback Alex Carter on injured reserve-designated to return. They also re-signed defensive tackle Jermelle Cudjo, who was cut over the weekend, and signed cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste to the practice squad.
