Lions coach Rod Marinelli said after morning practice Friday that he has no current plans to bring recently-released defensive end Simeon Rice in for a visit. That doesn't mean the Lions won't visit with the 33-year-old at some point, but Rice's dwindling production (two sacks last year), health (he failed a physical in Tampa) and the Lions' lack of available cap space could ultimately work against him.

"Right now it's not something we've really had a chance to talk through a lot in terms of our front office," Marinelli said. "Right now I feel very good (about our defensive line), but I have also great respect for him.

For now, the underachieving Kalimba Edwards is penciled in at right end opposite free-agent signee Dewayne White, Rice's former backup in Tampa. If he struggles in camp, Rice, the NFL's No. 2 active sack leader, should expect a call.
