As coach Jim Schwartz hinted earlier in the day, starting right guard Stephen Peterman has been placed on the injured reserve list, ending his season. Peterman, who had started all nine games, injured his right ankle in the third quarter of the loss at Minnesota on Sunday.

Daniel Loper, who has started two games this season at left guard, is expected to take Peterman’s spot.

The Lions signed wide receiver Eric Fowler off the practice squad to take Peterman’s place on the roster.
