For the second straight week, the Detroit Lions have placed a starting cornerback on injured reserve.
The Lions moved rookie third-round pick Ifeatu Melifonwu to IR Wednesday and signed Daryl Worley off their practice squad.
Melifonwu suffered what Lions coach Dan Campbell termed a "bad" quadriceps injury in Monday night's 35-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Melifonwu, making his first start in place of the injured Jeff Okudah, was hurt while covering Packers receiver Davante Adams on a 50-yard pass in the third quarter. He pulled up and grabbed his leg just as Adams caught the ball.
