Detroit Lions' lineman not complaining after losing starting spot in return from injury

In his first game back from a groin injury, Joe Dahl found himself on the bench.

But after starting 13 games for the Detroit Lions last season, Dahl insists he is not worried about whether he stays there.

“I think I’m just going to leave that up to (offensive line coach) Hank (Fraley)," Dahl said Wednesday. "I think a big strength of ours is how deep our offensive line is. I’m just going to keep working and trying to be better every day and he’ll sort that all out."

Dahl won the Lions' starting left guard job last summer and held it for most of the season until a back injury forced him to injured reserve with three games to play.
