Jason Fox Misses Practice

The Lions claimed offensive tackle Cliff Louis (6-foot-8, 315 pounds) off waivers from the Giants on Tuesday. Louis, 26, went undrafted out of Morgan State in 2007 and has made several stops with the Browns, Cardinals and Giants over his first four seasons. Louis was in his fourth stint with the Giants, this one lasting just 13 days.

The Louis signing conspicuously coincides with rookie fourth-round pick Jason Fox missing Tuesday's morning practice. Fox, also a tackle, has continued to be bothered by a left knee that required offseason surgery.

It's unclear at this point if the Louis signing is related to Fox in any way.
