White spread credit to his teammates for the NFL Award at practice on Wednesday:

“It was our whole defensive line, a whole team effort,” White said. “You could have given it to a number of guys for what they did to help me get this award. When you look at an individual, it’s never just me.

“It’s always something causing something for me to get the effect of it. I wish it could go to all four of them.”

Roster Changes

A roster change was made by the Lions on Wednesday as a result of the mild High Ankle sprain suffered Sunday by T.J. Duckett. Running back Aveion Cason was resigned and Wide receiver Brandon Middleton was released. Duckett is expected to be out 2-4 weeks.

As always any Detroit Lions comments are welcome and encouraged.
