Leigh Bodden will start this week for the Lions, replacing Travis Fisher and Daniel Bullocks will replace Gerald Alexander at safety this week as well.

There will be two changes on defense.
One move, which was expected, is that Leigh Bodden has taken over the starting right cornerback spot from Travis Fisher, who will continue to spell the starters at each cornerback spot. The Lions will also replace starting free safety Gerald Alexander with Daniel Bullocks. Alexander took over the job as a rookie last season, but only because Bullocks went down with a knee injury in the preseason.
Marinelli did say that rookie second-round pick Jordon Dizon would get a lot more snaps at middle linebacker in a rotation with starter Paris Lenon (Dizon had 14 snaps against the Falcons). Marinelli said Lenon would not be moved to strong side linebacker when Dizon entered the game.
