Lions put Dizon on IR, take Simpson off PUP list

Football Betting Lines

08/16/2010 - Allen Park, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Detroit Lions placed linebacker Jordon Dizon on injured reserve Monday and activated safety Ko Simpson off the physically unable to perform list.

Dizon, primarily a special teams contributor, suffered a knee injury in Saturday's 23-7 loss to Pittsburgh in Detroit's preseason opener. The third- year pro also contributed on defense with 29 tackles and a forced fumble in 16 games last season.

"He was really good on special teams. He was a four-phase guy there. He played outside linebacker, inside linebacker, he played nickel linebacker, he had done a lot of those things. He's going to be a guy that we're going have to work hard to replace," remarked Lions head coach Jim Schwartz.

Simpson had been dealing with a knee injury of his own that cut short his 2009 season after Week 11. He managed 30 tackles, an interception and four passes defensed in eight games, five starts, prior to the setback. The fifth-year pro played a full 16-game slate for Buffalo a year prior and recorded 66 tackles while starting 11 games.

"I don't really know the plan, I just know they're going to work me back slow. They're not just going to throw me out there full go, they're going to let me try to work my way back in there day-by-day and hopefully by the end of the preseason it'll be full go," Simpson said.

The Lions also announced they have released defensive end Jason Hunter and re- signed linebacker Lee Campbell.
