Buh Bye Burleson

What are your Detroit Lions going to do without Nate Burleson out there on offense? That's right, as you may already know, he was injured in the previous game against the Chicago Bears, in which he suffered a broken leg. Burleson will be out for the remainder of the season and as of now,  Titus Young and Ryan Broyles will step up as temporary replacements. However, the Lions are looking to sign a replacement for Burleson as soon as today. According to freep.com, they are looking at three possible options which include "Legedu Naanee, who was released by the Miami Dolphins earlier this month, former Ohio State standout Brian Robiskie, and Deon Butler, who spent the last three years with Sunday's opponent, the Seattle Seahawks..."Fact of the matter is, it doesn't matter who they sign, they still need to step up their game a bit. Yes, the injuries they are facing could be troublesome, but if they play like we know they can, playoffs should still be within reach.
