Lions LB Zack Follett (Neck) Done For The Season

The Lions placed linebacker Zack Follett on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season with a neck injury.

Follett was carted off the field after a scary helmet-to-helmet collision with defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul while covering a kick in the fourth quarter of an Oct. 17 loss to the Giants. He stayed overnight in a New Jersey hospital, and was scheduled to visit a spine specialist this week.

The move clears room on the 53-man roster for cornerback Brandon McDonald, who the Lions claimed off waivers Wednesday from the Cardinals.
