The Lions placed receiver Mike Furrey on injured reserve list today because of lingering symptoms from a concussion he suffered on the opening kickoff against the Jacksonville Jaguars…Taking his place on the roster is free agent receiver Keary Colbert. That means that three of Detroit’s five receivers (including John Standeford and Adam Jennings) were not on the team’s roster for the first half of the season).
Rookie tackle Gosder Cherilus did not take part in the team’s light practice today, nor did rookie running back Kevin Smith. Three starting offensive linemen who missed all or part of the Thanksgiving Day game — center Dominic Raiola and guards Edwin Mulitalo and Stephen Peterman — all returned to practice.
Quarterback Don Orlovsky was throwing some passes during individual drills, but did not take part in practice.
