The Lions signed S Don Carey to a three-year extension at some point during the 2013 regular season.

The deal was never reported by the media, but the NFLPA database has Carey under Detroit's control through 2016. He was previously only signed through 2013. Although Carey has been a liability when pressed into action at safety and slot corner, he's contributed 21 special teams tackles the past two seasons.

Lions signed S Don Carey to a one-year, $630,000 contract extension.

Carey was scheduled to become a restricted free agent this offseason. He was signed on the first day of November with the Detroit secondary experiencing a slew of injuries. Carey, 26 in February, then started six games down the stretch and recorded two interceptions with five pass break-ups. He'll be a reserve and special teams player in 2013.

Lions signed DB Don Carey.

Carey was with the Lions in camp before getting released with an injury settlement. He's on as secondary depth with Louis Delmas (knee) banged up again and Bill Bentley (shoulder) out for the year.

Lions waived/injured DB Don Carey and TE Nathan Overbay.

A special teamer and reserve defensive back, Carey appeared in five games last season, making 11 tackles. He appeared in 15 games for the Jaguars in 2010, making 10 starts. Getting cut at this stage of camp bodes poorly for Carey's NFL future, but his experience should keep him on the radar. A third-year pro, Overbay has yet to appear in an NFL game.

Lions DB Don Carey sustained a concussion in Week 15.

Carey took a blind-side hit to the head on kickoff coverage last week. Unlike FS Chris Harris, the special teamer has yet to be cleared for a return to practice.

Lions signed S Don Carey, formerly of the Jaguars.

Carey was cut by the Jags before the season after totaling 36 tackles in 15 games last year. He'll add depth in Detroit with backup safety Erik Coleman out for the season.

Jaguars S Don Carey said X-rays on his neck came back negative and he expects to be fine.

Carey may be doing well health-wise, but his wallet is likely going to be hurting soon. He's expected to be fined for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Jason Witten.

Jaguars DB Don Carey left Sunday's game against the Cowboys in the fourth quarter with a neck sprain.

Carey laid a helmet-to-helmet hit on Jason Witten and he took the worst of it. Carey stayed down on the field for some time but walked off under his own power.

Normally a cornerback, Jaguars DB Don Carey saw "about 30 snaps at safety" in Week 5, according to coach Jack Del Rio.

"Don has done a nice job in his increased role," Del Rio said. "We're looking to develop. We feel like we've made some strides in that area." Added Carey, "The more you can do, the better. Finally got a shot to get in the game, it felt good."

2009 sixth-round pick Don Carey ran with the Jaguars' first-team defense in place of disgruntled CB Rashean Mathis at Monday's OTA.

Carey, whom the Jaguars stole off waivers from the Browns last summer, spent his first year on injured reserve. Assuming Mathis regains his starting job by Week 1, Carey looks to have an inside track on the nickel back job.

Don Carey and Scott Starks are the leading contenders for the Jaguars' nickel back job, according Vic Ketchman of the team's official site.

Rashean Mathis and Derek Cox form an up-and-coming starting corner duo, but the depth in the secondary has to be a major concern. Starks is always hurt and Carey is a project out of Norfolk State.
