Detroit Lions place WR Tommylee Lewis on PUP list right before training camp starts

Tommylee Lewis will have some catching up to do if he's going to win a backup job at wide receiver.

The Detroit Lions placed Lewis on the PUP list Tuesday, a day after they announced defensive end Trey Flowers and linebacker Steve Longa would start training camp on PUP as well.

Lewis, who signed a one-year free-agent deal with the Lions in the offseason, spent spring working with the rehab group in practice because of an undisclosed injury.

He caught three passes for 60 yards in seven games with the New Orleans Saints last season and is expected to compete for the No.
