Allen Park — The Detroit Lions have lost seventh-round draft pick Jashon Cornell for the season, placing the rookie defensive tackle on injured reserve on Thursday.
Cornell suffered a serious lower leg injury during Tuesday's practice, going down during a one-on-one pass rush drill. After being evaluated by medical staff for several minutes, he had to be carted to the locker room.
In addition to shifting Cornell to injured reserve, the Lions also waived rookie fullback Luke Sellers. To fill the two roster openings, the Lions brought back a pair of players they waived last week, wide receiver Chris Lacy and running back Wes Hills.
