ALLEN PARK — Safety Daniel Bullocks missed Sunday’s practice because he was visiting orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., to check on his knee. Bullocks sat out of practice for the past few days.
 He tore his ACL in the same knee in the 2007 preseason which ended his whole season.
“I don’t know if it’s any worse, but he’s the guy who did the operation and he wanted to look at it,’’ coach Jim Schwartz said.
Bullocks started 15 of 16 games last season after coming back from that injury.
