Jason Fox to be held out of rookie camp

Jason Fox, a tackle from Miami, was taken in the fourth round, and North Carolina State defensive end Willie Young and Weber State return specialist Tim Toone were seventh-round picks.

Fox might not see any action on the field this weekend because he's coming off minor knee surgery. He said after the draft he feels very close to 100 percent and wants to participate, but the Lions likely will err on the side of a caution and limit his activity.

"Jason Fox is exactly what we're looking for in an offensive tackle,'' Schwartz said. "He's a four-year starter, he's really big and really smart. On the offensive line, if you're big and smart and productive and played a long time, you'll be successful in the NFL.

"He had a knee surgery that should put him behind, but he should be fine once we get to training camp. All the guys we drafted, there was something about them we liked.
