News: The Lions announced cornerback Chris Greenwood (abdominal) will remain on the reserve/PUP list, so he will not play in 2012.
Analysis: Greenwood would have just been secondary depth for Detroit and hold no Fantasy appeal. Continue to ignore him.
News: The Lions activated defensive back Chris Greenwood from the PUP list Wednesday. Greenwood missed the first five games of the season after having surgery to repair a sports hernia.
Analysis: Greenwood is considered a project for Detroit and was not expected to make a Fantasy impact this season. He should be left off all rosters at this point.
News: The Lions placed defensive back Chris Greenwood is expected to miss at least the first six weeks of the regular season and being placed on the PUP list Monday to help reach the NFL's latest roster requirements. Greenwood is eligible to return in Week 7 at Chicago.
Analysis: Greenwood is considered a project for Detroit and was not expected to make a Fantasy impact this season. He should be left off all rosters at this point.
News: The Lions drafted three cornerbacks and three linebackers in April's draft, all of them with picks in Round 3 or later. The three cornerbacks are Louisiana-Lafayette's Dwight Bentley, Albion's Chris Greenwood and New Mexico State's Jonte Green. The linebackers are Oklahoma's Ronnell Lewis (who might play some defensive end), Temple's Tahir Whitehead and Oklahoma's Travis Lewis. Bentley's a tough, physical cornerback who might compete for a roster spot while Greenwood and Green's speed should help them land some work on special teams. Ronnell Lewis will definitely work on special teams and might move into a role as a pass rusher for the Lions as a defensive lineman while Travis Lewis is a tackling machine. Whitehead has good skills and can work in pass coverage as an outside linebacker.
Analysis: These guys all have some nice potential to help the Lions -- eventually. Bentley has the best chance to start the soonest and Whitehead and both Lewises have some long-term potential, but none of them are worth anything more than late-round picks in deeper rookie-only drafts. Greenwood and Green will take a while to be helpful for Fantasy owners.
