Allen Park — The Detroit Lions have lost one of the team's most productive defensive players from a year ago for at least the next four games, making room for the team to sign rookie James Houston off the practice squad.
On Monday, the team announced Charles Harris has been placed on injured reserve. He had been dealing with a nagging groin injury for the better part of two months.
Initially suffering the injury during a Thursday practice leading up to the team's Week 5 matchup against New England, Harris subsequently missed the next three games.
