Jeff Okudah’s season is officially over now that the Lions have placed their rookie cornerback on injured reserve. Okudah, sidelined since the Lions’ 20-0 loss at Carolina nearly a month ago, underwent core muscle surgery earlier this week. The No. 3 overall pick in this year's draft finished his rookie season with 47 tackles and one interception in nine games, including six starts.
The Lions signed veteran cornerback Tramaine Brock to their practice squad Thursday, releasing Dee Virgin to make room. The team still has an open spot on the 53-man roster, however, with Okudah going on IR.
