Detroit Lions place CB Josh Wilson on IR; reportedly re-signing Bill Bentley

Josh Wilson's season is over. One day after Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell announced the veteran cornerback had a "significant" injury, the team has decided to place Wilson on injured reserve.

Taking Wilson's place on the roster will reportedly be Bill Bentley, according to the Detroit Free Press.

A former third-round draft pick for the Lions, Bentley was released in June. He suffered an ACL tear in Week 1 of the 2014 offseason and had missed a total of 30 games due to injury in his three seasons with Detroit.

Signed this offseason to bolster Detroit's depth in the secondary, Wilson recorded 32 tackles in eight games.
