ALLEN PARK, Mich. – James Ihedigbo is still the Detroit Lions' starter at strong safety.
Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said the veteran, who was a Pro Bowl alternate last season teaming with Glover Quin, would remain the team’s starter there. How much he plays? That’s a different situation as to whether Ihedigbo or Isa Abdul-Quddus will take more snaps.
“James is our starter,” Austin said. “We just have, again, different packages that Isa was going to play more last week.”
