Lions sign S Randy Phillips

Rookie safety Randy Phillips, an undrafted free agent out of Miami (Fla.), passed his physical with the Lions on Tuesday and signed with the Lions later in the week.

The 6-foot-2, 210-pound safety initially joined the Lions for their rookie minicamp April 30-May 2. But Phillips, who was recovering from January surgery to repair a torn labrum, failed his physical at that time.

Phillips will try to make the team as an undrafted free agent from Miami. The Lions are very weak at safety behind Louis Delmas, so it's a fine landing spot.
