Jason Fox wearing boot, on crutches after Detroit Lions practice

ALLEN PARK — The hits just keep on coming for the Detroit Lions. Saturday's victim was second-year offensive tackle Jason Fox, who left the practice field early, and showed up in the locker room with crutches and wearing a boot on his left foot.

The Lions are now dangerously thin at the position with only four healthy tackles on the roster.

"Yeah, tackles, we've had a lot of guys drop," Lions coach Jim Schwartz admitted after practice. "With (Jeff) Backus before we started, (Gosder) Cherilus hasn't been ready for (daily) duty, and obviously, Jason.

"Jason was getting a lot of reps out there and was doing really well. Hopefully we'll get some good news on him, and he won't be too long."
