ALLEN PARK -- Detroit Lions right tackle LaAdrian Waddle has been placed on the physically unable to perform list prior to the start of training camp. At this stage, no one in the organization is willing to say how long he's expected to be sidelined. But even if Waddle isn't ready to go anytime soon, coach Jim Caldwell is comfortable with the team's alternative options at the position.
"I think all in all, we're going to be all right," Caldwell said Friday during a pre-camp meeting with local reporters. "(Cornelius) Lucas played a lot of football for us and he played well.
