A couple of notes from the Lions' indoor practice in helmets and shorts:

Offensive lineman Jason Fox returned with relatively good news from a visit with a North Carolina foot specialist. He does not have a fracture and won't need surgery. Instead, he will be immobilized in a cast for a period of time and then begin rehabilitation.

Receiver Titus Young (leg) was again held out of practice and was walking on the sideline with an obvious limp. There is no sense on speculating how long it will take him to recover, but it doesn't look like it will be anytime soon. For now, the Lions can't expect a contribution from any of their top three draft choices.

I spent some time watching Berry, especially after hearing so much about him despite very limited practice and game time last season. In one instance, at least, Berry covered receiver Calvin Johnson as well as could possibly be expected. He was physical, remained stride-for-stride and forced Johnson to make an extraordinarily difficult catch on the sideline.

In nickel packages that I saw, the Lions were inserting Brandon McDonald and removing linebacker Stephen Tulloch. While Tulloch was in the middle during first-team drills, Schwartz said it is likely he will rotate between the middle and the outside during the preseason. Tulloch made a nice play during positional drills to knock a pass away from Best.

Not looking good for Young, hobbling around after limited action.
