Allen Park -- It's been nearly 12 weeks since DeAndre Levy played in a game and it begs the question -- why didn't the Detroit Lions place the linebacker on injured reserve following his early-season injury?

Lions coach Jim Caldwell does his best to refrain from commenting on injuries, but said the team has been operating on the information it has had available.
"We look at our situation, where we are, going into the week, and make the best decisions based upon what we have available to us, which we've done thus far and will continue to do," Caldwell said.

I wonder if this shit soap opera drama will cause the decision makers on his availability to lose their jobs, and depending on how they finish the season even Caldwell's job.
