NEW ORLEANS (AP) -Detroit cornerback Phillip Buchanon was listed as inactive for the Lions’ season opener Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
Buchanon, an eight-year veteran who played the Saints often while with Tampa Bay for the past three seasons, had been limited in practice by a sore neck. He was questionable for the game earlier in the week.
Eric King, a five-year veteran, took Buchanon’s spot in the starting lineup.
The Saints deactivated free safety Usama Young, a former cornerback who was slated to back up veteran Darren Sharper. Young hurt his shoulder in the Saints’ third preseason game and missed the fourth, but had practiced throughout Week 1 and was listed as probable on Friday.
