Lions sign back-up safety Carey to extension
Don Carey - DB - Detroit Lions
Jan. 4, 2013 - 12:00 PM ET

Lions re-signed signed S Don Carey to a one-year, $630,000 extension through 2013.

Carey was scheduled to become a restricted free agent this offseason. He was signed on the first day of November with the Detroit secondary experiencing a slew of injuries. Carey, 26 in February, then started six games down the stretch and recorded two interceptions with five pass break-ups. The Lions would likely prefer him to be a third safety and special teams player in 2013.
