ALLEN PARK — Defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham said rookie linebacker Deandre Levy got a lot of work today at left outside linebacker in place of the injured Ernie Sims (shoulder). Jordon Dizon is also in the mix to get the start. Sims will be out for at least one game after getting injured on the final play of Sunday’s loss to Minnesota.

“I think (Levy) is one of the toughest guys we’ve got. I’ve been disappointed that we haven’t had a chance to get him in the game more. He’ll definitely get in the game this week,’’ Cunningham said.
