The Facts: The Detroit Lions are making a change at kicker. The Lions plan to sign Henery today to replace rookie Nate Freese, who struggled in a three-week cameo on the job.
Diehards Line:
Freese, a seventh-round pick out of Boston College, missed his fourth field goal in Sunday's 19-7 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was 3-for-7 on field goals this year, and 0-for-4 on kicks longer than 40 yards. Henery, who kicked the last three seasons for the Philadelphia Eagles, was one of three kickers who worked out for the Lions last week. Henery made 23 of 28 field goals last year, with a long of 51 yards.
