Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports thatย Lions OTย Corey Hilliard is expected to miss the rest of the season with a foot injury.

Detroit hasย LaAdrian Waddle currently listed as their starting right tackle on their depth chart, but he left with a calf injury, which opened the door forย Hilliard to play 63 snaps on Monday.

With both players dealing with injuries, undrafted rookieย Cornelius Lucas would like beย next in line to handle the right tackle job, but it would not be surprising to see Detroit add some depth at the position.

Hilliard, 29, is in the final year of his contract and will makeย $1.285 million for the 2014 season. Last year, he appeared in nine games for the Lions.
