Decides to wait on surgery
“I’m not going to get surgery,” Orlovsky said Wednesday. “I’m going to try and do everything I can not to have surgery. I’m going to give it time to let it heal on its own, and we’ll reassess it in a couple weeks.”
Not only have the Lions not put Orlovsky on injured reserve, they have released quarterback Drew Henson, leaving them with Orlovsky, Daunte Culpepper and Drew Stanton for the time being.
Henson was released Wednesday to make room on the 53-man roster for punt returner/wide receiver Adam Jennings, whom the Lions claimed off waivers from Atlanta. If Henson passes through waivers, the Lions could sign him to their practice squad.
