(AP Photo/AJ Mast)(DETROIT, Mich. -- Kenny Britt is active today against the Lions despite being demoted to second string behind Ricardo Louis and being benched for the Vikings game in London.
Britt, who's making $10.5 million guaranteed this season, was also active in London, but stood on the sidelines in uniform and didn't take a snap.
Coach Hue Jackson said after that game that it was just a coach's decision and not injury-related or disciplinary.
