| Lions Hope To Get DT Sammie Hill Back Soon | | |
| Lions defensive tackle Sammie Hill seems ready to return after missing three games with an ankle injury. "I think getting Sammie Hill back is really big," defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham said. "Out of everybody that was out - that's not being disrespectful to guys like Jason Hunter or Dewayne White - we missed the big guy inside." Hill is listed at 6-4, 329. "His size makes a difference for us," head coach Jim Schwartz said. "We talked about getting bigger, and Sammie was a big part of that. He's a big wide body in there. I think we realize a little bit how much we missed him, and it speaks well for him that we're missing a guy that maybe coming into this year in the draft we didn't count on relying on so much. But when we watched our cutups from the first six games and we saw when he was in there and when he wasn't, there was a difference."
