They have three games left and no shot at making the playoffs, but the Detroit Lions don't have any plans to give their young backups more playing time in order to assess what they have for the future.
"We're trying to win," Lions coach Jim Caldwell said Monday. "That's our goal. … Tomorrow's not even promised to us, so we're not looking that far ahead. We're looking right, straight forward at this next ball game and working towards that."
The Lions have embarked on a mini youth movement in their secondary and, to a lesser extent, at receiver in recent weeks, though those changes were made mostly out of necessity.
