Lions Happy To Have Safety Louis Delmas Back
Quiet time is almost over for the Lions defense.
And that's music to the ears of defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham, a man who, while he might not share the same heavy-metal playlist as coach Jim Schwartz, certainly isn't fond of the sounds of silence.
Safety Louis Delmas was back at practice Thursday as the Lions geared up for Saturday's regular-season dress rehearsal against the Browns at Ford Field. And with the boisterous Delmas -- sidelined for much of the last two months as he recovers from a torn groin muscle -- returning to the field alongside linebacker DeAndre Levy, sidelined for most of camp by a nagging back problem, Cunningham finally can take out the ear plugs.
