      ALLEN PARK, Mich.  - Former Tennessee Titans coach Jeff
Fisher still has at least one NFL rooting interest.
      Fisher has been taking in a bit of training camp with the
Detroit Lions, who are coached by Jim Schwartz, his former
defensive coordinator with the Titans. Detroit also hired Fisher's
son, Brandon, this offseason to assist its defensive coaching
staff.
      Fisher, who parted ways with the Titans following last season,
says he's impressed with the job Schwartz is doing after taking
over a team that went 0-16 the season before he arrived. Detroit
went 2-14 in Schwartz's first year before improving to 6-10 last
season.
      The Lions announced some roster moves Wednesday. They signed
safety Michael Johnson and center Rudy Niswanger and released
linebacker Quentin Davie.
