Lions Ink DB Sam Proctor and WR Wallace Miles

May 15th, 2012 Matt Loede Posted in News, Roster Moves

The Lions have signed Oklahoma defensive back Sam Proctor and North Carolina A&T wide receiver Wallace Miles to one-year contracts.

The team announced the moves Tuesday after both undrafted players tried out for the team during last weekend’s rookie minicamp.

The 5-foot-11, 226-pound Proctor made 103 tackles in his four-year career with the Sooners. The 6-1, 193-pound Wallace had 70 receptions for 1,000-plus yards with six touchdowns last year as a senior.

Detroit also put running back Jerome Harrison on the reserve/non-football illness list. Harrison had surgery in October for a brain tumor, which was discovered after the Lions attempted to trade him to the Philadelphia Eagles.
