ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions re-signed linebacker Alex Lewis to a three-year contract Thursday.

Lewis began the 2006 season as the starting strong-side linebacker but suffered a leg injury in Week 2 and sat out Detroit's next five games. He returned to action against Atlanta and finished the season with 43 tackles as a regular in the Lions' linebacker rotation.

 

Detroit drafted the 6-foot, 227-pounder out of Wisconsin in the fifth round, 140th overall, in 2004. He played in 15 games his rookie season and recorded a career-high 49 tackles, but missed almost the entire 2005 season after injuring his ankle in the season opener.
