ALLEN PARK, Mich. � Detroit Lions defensive end Jared DeVries left the practice field on a cart Monday after suffering an apparent ankle injury.

Coach Jim Schwartz says the 11-year veteran would be evaluated later in the day.
The Lions also were missing receiver Calvin Johnson, who wore a cast on his right hand to cover a jammed thumb. Johnson said the cast was precautionary and Schwartz said X-rays showed no significant injury. The coach would not say if Johnson would miss Saturday�s preseason opener against visiting Atlanta.
While Johnson sat out, rookie safety Louis Delmas was back after missing several days of practice with a thigh injury.
