Lions coach Jim Schwartz said at Monday's presser that CB Jacob Lacey has avoided ligament damage to his knee, but that his injury could still be "significant."

Still only 25 years old, Lacey is headed back to the open market after playing under a one-year deal this season. He's graded out in the middle of the pack in Pro Football Focus' cornerback rankings.
