Related Topics: lineman, Derrick Lott

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions have lost another defensive lineman for the season, this time a key reserve on the interior.

Detroit moved defensive tackle Jordan Hill to injured reserve on Sunday with a bicep injury. He's the team's third defensive linemen to go down for the year, following ends Kerry Hyder and Brandon Copeland.

Hill was signed this offseason and expected to fill a top reserve role, especially with Khyri Thornton suspended to open the season. Throw in the suspension of defensive end Armonty Bryant, and the Lions are having some depth issues up front two weeks before opening the season against Arizona.
