DETROIT (AP) --
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) - The Detroit Lions made a roster move to
clear space for top draft pick Ndamukong Suh.
Detroit released defensive tackle Leger Douzable on Wednesday to
make room for Suh. The Lions also released safety Marquand Manuel
on Wednesday and signed safety Randy Phillips.
Phillips made seven interceptions in his career at Miami. He was
a team leader for the Hurricanes last year in his fifth season
after having knee surgery two years ago as a senior. Phillips has
18 siblings and is from Belle Glade, Fla.
Manuel started in six games for the Lions last season. He's also
played for Denver, Green Bay, Carolina, Seattle and Cincinnati.
Douzable played in 12 games last year for the St. Louis Rams.
