My list of pending Lions free agents didn't make it to the web today, so here's a by-position recap for everyone who doesn't see the printed product.

This is in addition to the six cuts revealed yesterday, and I can't see but a handful of players re-signed. Jason Hanson for sure. The Lions would like to bring back Moran Norris, though I don't know if he feels the same way. Maybe Stephen Peterman, who played under new offensive-line coach George Yarno at LSU. Ramzee Robinson is the only restricted free agent on this list and should make it to camp. Beyond that, expect most of these guys to be ex-Lions.

QB: Dan Orlovsky
RB/FB: Aveion Cason, Rudi Johnson, Moran Norris
WR/TE: Keary Colbert, Shaun McDonald, John Owens
OL: Damion Cook, George Foster, Andy McCollum, Stephen Peterman
DL: Shaun Cody, Langston Moore, Corey Smith
LB: Paris Lenon, Ryan Nece
DB: Ramzee Robinson, Stanley Wilson
K: Jason Hanson

Indianapolis running back Joseph Addai and safety Bob Sanders are inactive for today's game against the Lions. Dominic Rhodes will start in place of Addai and Melvin Bullitt replaces Sanders. Even without two of its best players, the Colts should win with ease.

No surprises on the Lions' inactive list. Dan Orlovsky will start at quarterback, Drew Stanton is the backup, Drew Henson No. 3 and Daunte Culpepper is out. Langston Moore, who signed Friday to replace Cory Redding, also is inactive.

Quick note I never got to last week. Saw executive vice president Tom Lewand in the Lions' locker room on Wednesday and had the opportunity to ask him about rumors the Lions will be slashing ticket prices next year.

"We're looking at everything right now," Lewand said. "We'll comment on it at the right point."

While that's hardly an admission prices will fall, I think it's safe to say coming off this atrocious season and with the state of the economy they will not be going up.

The Lions have sold out just three of seven home games this year and could be looking at another blackout next week in their home finale against New Orleans.

Asked how much the Lions' attendance woes are to blame on the economy and how much on the on-field product, Lewand said, "The economy is real, our team performance is real. But as to where that scale, the balance is, I don't know."

The Lions placed defensive tackle Cory Redding on injured reserve Friday and re-signed tackle Langston Moore.

Redding has been hampered all season by a knee injury and did not practice this week. He has four sacks over the last two years since the Lions used the franchise tag on him and made him the highest-paid defensive tackle in the league.

Moore made the team as the 11th defensive lineman out of training camp but was released Oct. 28 to make room for fullback Darian Barnes, who was released himself two weeks later.

Every day during training camp, Lions beat writer Dave Birkett takes you inside practice at Allen Park with a few notes, quotes and observations of interest.

• The Lions just wrapped up their morning practice, their first public workout of the summer (previous sessions were open to invited guests and scheduled season-ticket holders) and drew more than 500 fans. One walked away with an autographed Mike Furrey football (courtesy of the team) and anyone who stuck around filled their autograph book with signatures. Just about every player stopped to sign. Kevin Smith and Dwight Smith were two of the most accommodating, while coach Rod Marinelli signed or chatted with anyone who said hi.

• The biggest cheers of the day came when Mike Furrey beat Ramzee Robinson down the middle of the field for a deep touchdown pass. Safety LaMarcus Hicks tipped a ball on the next play, and a group of defensive players turned to the crowd to encourage cheers for their unit, too.

• Jordon Dizon made his first interception of camp, picking off Jon Kitna in 11-on-11 team work. Fellow middle linebacker Buster Davis had the hit of the morning, blasting fullback Jerome Felton a few periods later. Felton had the hit of the day Monday when he knocked off Davis helmet with a ferocious block. That play was highlighted (and replayed) several times by Marinelli in the Monday night team meeting. No doubt it served as the impetus for Davis' good day.

• Two other football-related observations: First, Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams weren't flawless Tuesday by any means, but they ooze so much talent it's silly. Johnson beat Robinson for a deep touchdown and just ran away from him in the final 10 yards with the ball still in the air. I don't imagine he'll be a Pro Bowler this year, but it won't be long. Second, Dovonte Edwards has a shot to make the team if the Lions keep five corners. Edwards has had a better camp than Robinson and Stanley Wilson so far.

• Lastly, add two more names to the injury report in center Dominic Railoa and defensive tackle Langston Moore. Raiola has a sprained ankle and should be fine, though his absence Tuesday led to six fumbled quarterback-center exchanges. Moore sprained his shoulder Tuesday and is due for an MRI later today.

Every day during training camp, Lions beat writer Dave Birkett takes you inside practice at Allen Park with a few notes, quotes and observations of interest.

• Looks like the Lions will go conventional with their use of the new defensive speaker system. Middle linebackers Paris Lenon, Buster Davis and Jordon Dizon have had their helmets outfitted for the system and practiced using it for the first time today. During team drills, defensive coordinator Joe Barry used a walkie-talkie to relay play calls to Lenon and Co. At the same time, linebackers coach Phil Snow hand-signaled in the plays. The nuts and bolts of how that will work during the season still is being ironed out, but Lenon reported no hiccups with the dry run today. Hand signals aren't going away, but Barry said he hopes to test the speaker system another nine or 10 times during the preseason. On game days, two helmets will be wired for the system but only one player can have it on the field at any given time.

• Devale Ellis continues to have an eye-catching camp. Competing for the No. 5 receiver spot and return duties, Ellis made a few nice catches in traffic during full-team drills this morning. On special teams, I don't think he's dropped a punt yet. Passing-game coordinator Kippy Brown indicated the other likely candidate, fifth-round draft choice Kenneth Moore, has a ways to go as a receiver the other day. Moore was drafted for his return skills.

• The Lions are counting on Ikaika Alama-Francis to contribute at defensive end this year, and Rod Marinelli is after him to be more consistent. An example from morning practice: In one drill, Marinelli praised Alama-Francis for having good pad level and good get off (he got under right tackle George Foster's pads and knocked him backwards with ease). In the next, Marinelli hollered that Alama-Francis needed to get off the ball better and "I haven't seen you make one play all day."

• Dewayne White and Jeff Backus had two good, clean battles in one-on-one line work. There was a little pushing, however, between Langston Moore and Matt Butler.

• THIS NOTE UPDATED 12:30 P.M. TUESDAY A football man watching practice with a more trained eye than I said rookie defensive tackle Andre Fluellen looked quick and had good hips after seeing him in position drills. A third-round pick, Fluellen should make the team, but something tells me the Lions wouldn't mind if the left elbow injury he suffered last year flares up during camp. That way they could stash him on injured reserve for the year and keep Shaun Cody, who's having a great camp, and Moore as backup tackles.
