Saban will be back in the state where he spent nearly one-third of his career Thursday, when the Detroit Lions (2-8) host Miami (4-6) in their annual Thanksgiving game. ``We spent 10 years at Michigan State - five as a head coach and five as coordinator - and I'll always love that school and the friends I still have there,'' Saban said. ``It will be good t |

| Pontiac, MI (MySportsbook) - Detroit Lions running back Kevin Jones is questionable for the Thanksgiving day game against the Miami Dolphins. He is currently suffering from a knee injury. Jones left early in Detroit's 17-10 loss at Arizona on Sunday with the injury. The fourth-year running back has led the Lions in rushing the last two seasons, with his best year coming in 2004, when he rushed for 1,133 yards on 241 attempts. He has rushed for 636 yards on 153 carries this season, an average of 4.2 yards |

| (MySportsbook) - Week 11, in a lot of ways, felt like last year all over again. Donovan McNabb was lost for the season, the Arizona Cardinals played the Detroit Lions and nobody cared, and the Chicago Bears went on the road and won a game with their defense. A week after hanging 38 points on the New York Giants in the Meadowlands, Chicago returned and posted just 10 against the Jets. However, that was nine more than they needed to win the game (eight if you want to get technical). Thanks to a stout run de |

| (MySportsbook) - With the Detroit Lions going on the road and falling to 2-8 after a loss to the lifeless Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, it would be very easy to sit here this week and amuse ourselves with zingers about all of the losing under Matt Millen, all of the outrageous quotes from Roy Williams, or all of the laziness and wasted potential dripping off of Mike Williams. However, it just doesn't seem right to kick the Lions while they're down during Thanksgiving Week. There will be plenty of chances t |

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -The Detroit Lions will have to wait at least one more week before the return of Shaun Rogers, their best defensive player. The Pro Bowl defensive tackle has missed the last four games while serving a four-game suspension for substance abuse, underwent arthroscopic knee surgery during his time away and has not recovered enough to be activated for the Thanksgiving Day game against Miami. ``He's a big man and they had to clean his knee out pretty good,'' Lions coach Rod Marinelli |

Finally, in his sixth start, Matt Leinart was on the winning side when his Arizona Cardinals beat the Detroit Lions 17-10 on Sunday. After struggling in his last three outings, Leinart put together a strong performance against the Lions, especially in the second and third quarters, when he completed 14-of-15 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown.

In August, the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Seniors Committee recommended Cleveland Browns guard Gene Hickerson and Detroit Lions tight end Charlie Sanders as finalists for possible election with the Class of 2007. Not that Little pays much attention. ``I'm done with it,'' said Little, who played for Denver from 1967-75. That's to be expected, though. ``What happens is |

The Falcons dropped their second straight game as a heavy favorite last weekend, falling, 17-13, to the visiting Browns just seven days after dropping an equally surprising 30-14 verdict to the Detroit Lions. Quarterback Michael Vick had entered the two-game stretch on a career-best run of touchdown pass-tossing, but plummeted to Earth against Cleveland after completing just 16-of-40 passes, with two interceptions and a critical fumble in the fourth qua |
