Marinelli plans to carry four on the roster
Lions coach Rod Marinelli said there would be an update on Orlovsky’s status for Sunday’s game against Jacksonville at 4 p.m. Friday. Marinelli also said he planned to carry four quarterbacks on the roster for Sunday.
Marinelli again refused to disclose which quarterback would start and how the practice time was being split between Daunte Culpepper and Drew Stanton. Culpepper had only his second practice after being out of the NFL for nearly a year. When it was suggested the game could be a good opportunity to see Stanton at least play, Marinelli again played it close to the vest.
“Every day is a day I evaluate,” he said. “But I think there’s also something about veteran presence. The guy’s done it, been there, confidence, command. Those are vital things also. I’m not saying I’m going that way. I’m taking each day and trying to do a good job evaluating.”

Dan Orlovsky, I dont know if you read these or not Dan? However I’ve realy been at work trying to see if your going to get back with Detriot or not and i really really hope that you do!!! i Realy hate to ask you this but i am going to anyway! If you guys get stuck in negatiations please dont drop the whole thing! Please except the best deal that they will give? And then next year try for a better one! Cuz i think a lot of things happ en for a reason and I believe everyone wanting you to come back means that you belong here! So sooner or Later you will end up being THE LIONS QUARTERBACK PERIOD. So come back and do what you do and the lord will work it all out!!(:
Dan-O I really wish that you would sign the contract with Detroit! there are a lot of us here in the BIG D that are coming unglued just hoping that when we look at MLIVE that we can read that you have signed the contract!!!!!!! Don’t go anywhere else! I know that your a starting QB But,most of the NFL doesn’t! And that sucks but,if you come back to Detroit and give it another run you will see that you will end up the starter anyways Cuz,i know you can beat Dante and Stanton out of the starting QB spot! Anyways there have been a lot of us lobbying for you to come back! We are your fans please don’t let us down! I Mean you have a fan base in Detroit and with that fan base it can do a lot for you in the NFL. Because we believe in you,you will get the opportunity to show the world what you can do and next time your contract comes up you WILL be known and you will get what you want! However and I hate to say it cuz i really don’t know what you really want but,i think that sometimes in life you have to take what the good Lord is putting right in front of you! There are a lot of men in this life who would love to have the opportunity that you have right now I know I would But,that was’nt in the cards for me! But,life is great! And it would be even greater for us (your FANS) if you would come back and play for us! And I really believe that this time MORE than any in fifty yrs.this team has a chance to be a great team!And it needs you to get it started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CMON DAN SIGN UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
