DeAndre Levy: Remains in recovery
DeAndre Levy (knee) still isn't fully healed from the knee injury that prematurely ended his 2016 season, ESPN's Michael Rothstein reports. "I won't be cleared until November, December," Levy said.Levy is filing a grievance against the Lions claiming the team medically cleared him -- before cutting him a day later -- when the linebacker wasn't even healthy enough to get into his linebacker stance. Prior to the injury, Levy was one of the top 4-3 linebackers in the league and wants to resume his playing career if he heals well from hip, knee and back injuries. Apparently five or six teams have already reached out to him this offseason.

DeAndre Levy: Undergoes knee surgery
DeAndre Levy underwent surgery on his right knee in an effort to repair a torn meniscus suffered during the 2016 season, Michael Rothstein of ESPN reports.Levy was released by the Lions back in March after playing only six games during the last two seasons. Injuries have plagued the linebacker after a stellar stretch of play in 2013 and 2014, but if he is able to get healthy again, he should see an opportunity to play on an NFL club. Levy has recorded 639 tackles, 12 interceptions, and two forced fumbles over his eight-year NFL career.

Lions' DeAndre Levy: Listed as active in Week 16
DeAndre Levy (knee) is active for Monday's game at Dallas.Despite logging just 47 percent of the Detroit Lions' defensive snaps in Week 15, Levy easily doubled his previous season high in tackles with eight, all solo. He continues to be a limited practice participant, likely as a precaution due to the knee injury that forced 11 consecutive absences earlier this season. No matter, he could explode on the tackle front if he's ever allowed to earn the majority of reps on game day.
