| Lions Safety Stuart Schweigert Ready To Compete To Start | | |
Lions safety Stuart Schweigert is finally feeling healthy after suffering a torn calf muscle back in April and is ready to compete with rookie Louis Delmas and veterans like Daniel Bullocks, Marquand Manuel and Kalvin Pearson to start. "As everyone knows, there's a limit to how many people you can bring to camp," Schweigert said. "So I mean, I at least wanted to show the coaches that by training camp I would be 100% ready to go and let them know that I have a concept of the defense. I know the plays. I know the calls. Physically, I'm going to be there. You can sit there and know every call in the classroom, but you've got to get out there and see it with live motion and bullets and players calling calls and all that type of stuff. I'm still getting acclimated to it." Schweigert didn't have a job last year until he signed with the Lions on Nov. 19 and played six games for them. He wasn't 100% during the last minicamp. "Actually, the calf is probably the thing that feels the best," Schweigert said. "Just getting back into it, everything else is sore right now. But that's expected. This is really my first football this off-season."
