Lions CB Mathis placed on IR with concussion

MILWAUKEE -- The Detroit Lions have placed cornerback Rashean Mathis on injured reserve with a concussion, ending the veteran's season.

Mathis suffered the concussion in Week 7 against Minnesota but it went undiagnosed for over a week. He first started to feel symptoms of the brain injury Thursday following the game against the Vikings and then again the day of the game against the Chiefs in Week 8.
