Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Detroit Lions left tackle Jeff Backus is
inactive for Thursday's game against Houston.
Backus had started a league-leading 186 straight games for the Lions since the
team drafted him in 2001, but that streak is now broken as he is suffering
from a hamstring injury.
Also out for the Lions is defensive tackle Corey Williams as he has a knee
injury.
However, safety Louis Delmas is back after missing the past three games with a
left knee injury, while cornerback Drayton Florence is also active after
sustaining a concussion during last week's loss to Green Bay as is cornerback
Jacob Lacey, who missed Wednesday's practice with a foot injury.
