DETROIT (AP) — Matthew Stafford threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Jones in the second quarter, and the Detroit Lions shut down Christian Hackenberg and the New York Jets 16-6 in a preseason game Saturday night.
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions have put defensive end Kerry Hyder on injured reserve after he hurt his Achilles tendon in Sunday's preseason game at Indianapolis.
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — There's no official word yet from the Detroit Lions about whether defensive end Kerry Hyder will miss the season.

"We've got a very good group. We're very confident," defensive tackle Akeem Spence said. "That's a very big loss, but we've got the guys in the room to step up."
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions are alone in first place, and their top competitors in the NFC North have been floundering.
It's an opportunity for the Lions to win their first division title since 1993 — but their outlook could change awfully quickly if the next few weeks go badly.
"Confidence is building, but one thing we know about the league is, it will humble you," defensive lineman Kerry Hyder said.
