Lions Place Ifeatu Melifonwu On Injured Reserve
3 years agoThe Detroit Lions placed rookie cornerback Ifeatu Melifonwu (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed cornerback Daryl Worley to the active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Melifonwu will miss at least the next three weeks after getting injured in the Monday night loss to the Green Bay Packers. Head coach Dan Campbell said that the third-rounder will miss significant time, so he could be out longer than three weeks. Former first-rounder Jeff Okudah (Achilles) is already out for the season, so Detroit's secondary has thinned out considerably early in the year. Amani Oruwariye and rookie A.J. Parker could be forced to start in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. The Lions defense will be attackable all season from a fantasy perspective.
