DETROIT (AP) --
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) - The Detroit Lions have signed offensive
tackle Jon Jansen.
The Lions said Jansen passed his physical Monday and was signed
after the team cut tackle George Foster earlier in the day.
Jansen, from the Detroit suburb of Clawson, was cut by the
Washington Redskins on Friday.
He insists he can still contribute after injuries took a toll on
his career. Jansen started all but one game over seven seasons
after being drafted from Michigan a decade ago, but didn't play in
2004 or in 2007 and was limited to 11 starts last season.
