ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions have placed their best interior defensive lineman, Alim McNeill, on injured reserve with a knee injury and signed cornerback Kindle Vildor off the practice squad. Detroit also added 36-year-old Tyson Alualu and offensive lineman Matt Farniok to the practice squad and released linebacker Raymond Johnson from it. The NFC North-leading Lions made the moves Tuesday, two days after McNeill was injured in a win at New Orleans. McNeill made 31 tackles and six were for losses, including a career-high five sacks.
