PRO FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE NFL : Peete Agrees to Terms With Lions
Quarterback Rodney Peete agreed to contract terms with the Detroit Lions, but the signing was delayed while the Lions tried to reach Richard Diehl, the surgeon who performed Peete’s Achilles’ tendon surgery last season.
“It’s standard operating procedure,” the Lions’ Chuck Schmidt said. “Normally, the surgery is done by our team doctor, but that didn’t happen in this case. We just want to touch base with the doctor, but he was tied up with patients.”
Peete skipped both of Friday’s practices, but Coach Wayne Fontes said he expected him to be ready today.
