Another metric, this time from Football Outsiders, shows how much the Detroit Lions were impacted by injuries last season.

The Detroit Lions re-signed edge rusher Charles Harris, and PFF analyst Brad Spielberger sees the deal as one of the best value signings in the league.

The Detroit Lions are adding some help in their secondary, agreeing to terms with veteran cornerback Mike Hughes.
