The Lions were clearly working DE Ezekiel Ansah back into the lineup slowly Sunday against Los Angeles. He only played 55 percent of defensive snaps, less than Devin Taylor and Kerry Hyder. Ansah had missed three weeks due to an ankle injury. The rest of Detroit's snap breakdown (other than Joe Dahl's five special teams snaps, which got cut off the screen).


Jim Caldwell says "we'll see" when asked if Brandon Pettigrew or Corey Fuller would practice this week. Both are on PUP.

Lions HC Jim Caldwell wouldn't go into detail about Laken Tomlinson moving from LG to RG. Wouldn't say whether or not that move is permanent.

Lions WR Golden Tate finished with eight catches for 165 yards and a TD in the win over the Rams. That included a career-high 113 yards after catch, per ESPN Stats & Info. He had just 134 receiving yards total in the first five games of the season combined:
Weeks 1-5: 17 rec, 134 yds, 92 YAC, 0 TDs
Sunday: 8 rec, 165 yds, 113 YAC, 1 TD

The Lions re-signed DB Charles Washington to the practice squad and waived WR Jay Lee.
