Lions re-signed LB Rocky McIntosh.

Lions released LB Rocky McIntosh.

Detroit is down to five linebackers on its 53, with Tahir Whitehead and Travis Lewis behind Stephen Tulloch, Ashlee Palmer, and DeAndre Levy.

Lions signed LB Rocky McIntosh to a one-year contract.

30-year-old McIntosh worked out for the Lions early in training camp. In 16 games (nine starts) with the Rams last season, McIntosh notched 44 tackles and a sack. St. Louis didn't re-sign him because he's an ineffective player.

It's McIntosh's first known workout after he appeared in all 16 games for the Rams last season, making nine starts. He'd be a nice veteran addition for a linebacker corps that doesn't have a ton of depth.

Rocky McIntosh is working as a backup at both outside linebacker positions.

McIntosh has experience as a 4-3 outside 'backer thanks to his time with Gregg Williams in Washington. He projects as the backup to Mario Haggan on the strong side and Jo-Lonn Dunbar on the weak side.

Rams signed LB Rocky McIntosh, formerly of the Redskins.

McIntosh had previously visited the Vikings and Dolphins in addition to the 'Skins. Coming off 65 tackles and a sack last season after losing his starting job mid-way through, McIntosh will likely compete with Jo-Lonn Dunbar and Mario Haggan for snaps at outside linebacker.

The Rams would like to get free agent LB Rocky McIntosh under contract "relatively quickly," according to the Post-Dispatch.

McIntosh worked out for head coach Jeff Fisher Wednesday morning, and the coach liked what he saw. Considering McIntosh has been on the street all offseason, a contract should be easy to hammer out. He could push Jo-Lonn Dunbar or Mario Haggan for a starting role at outside linebacker in Fisher's 4-3 scheme.

McIntosh worked out personally in front of coach Jeff Fisher on Wednesday morning, and took part in individual drills in the afternoon. A 29-year-old with four and a half years of starting experience, McIntosh could be a starter in St. Louis.

The Jets recently hosted ILB Rocky McIntosh for a free agent visit.

McIntosh has also met with the Vikings, Bears, and Dolphins since the free agency period began. The 29-year-old would be depth for Rex Ryan's defense.

McIntosh had previously visited the Bears and Dolphins. He would likely back up WLB Erin Henderson and expected first-year starter MLB Jasper Brinkley if he lands in Minnesota.

Free agent LB Rocky McIntosh is scheduled to visit the Bears this week.

McIntosh started 69 games for the Redskins over six seasons before losing his job in November last year. He could back up on the weakside and in the middle with the Bears.

Free agent ILB Rocky McIntosh visited the Dolphins on Sunday.

According to ESPN 980 Washington's Chris Russell, Redskins ILB Rocky McIntosh "stuffed his bed with pillows/blankets to make it look like he was in and not breaking curfew" during the team's trip to Philadelphia.

"It did not work," according to Russell. Perhaps things would have turned out differently had McIntosh had his parents call coach Mike Shanahan and ask permission to stay out later. McIntosh will be playing elsewhere in 2012.

Redskins ILB Rocky McIntosh was inactive in Week 17 after "blowing off" curfew, a source tells CSN Washington's Ryan O'Halloran.

McIntosh's fate in Washington is essentially sealed and he likely knew it. They'll use Perry Riley as their starting inside linebacker of the future, allowing McIntosh to walk in free agency.

ESPN 980 Washington's Chris Russell reports Redskins ILB Rocky McIntosh was "essentially suspended" for Week 17.

A surprise inactive, McIntosh reportedly drew the ire of coach Mike Shanahan for being "late to some meetings/inattentive." Set to become a free agent, McIntosh had appeared in every game before Week 17, starting eight. He tallied 65 tackles and one sack, grading out as one of the worst inside linebackers in the league by Pro Football Focus. There's a good chance his six-year tenure in Washington has come to an end.

Redskins declared LB Rocky McIntosh, WR Aldrick Robinson, OT Jammal Brown, TE Richard Quinn, WR David Anderson, DT Doug Worthington, and DT Kentwan Balmer inactive for Week 17 against the Eagles.

Newly re-signed Redskins ILB Rocky McIntosh was immediately re-installed as a starter at his first practice of camp Thursday.

Perry Riley and H.B. Blades moved down a notch. Though McIntosh wasn't effective on the field last season, he did post a career-high 110 tackles as the inside 'backer next to London Fletcher. He's very much on the IDP radar, and he Skins will hope for improvement in McIntosh's second year of Jim Haslett's scheme.

Redskins re-signed ILB Rocky McIntosh.

We aren't aware of any free agent visits for McIntosh, whose market seemed slow to develop after a disappointing season. He'll likely slot back in as the starter next to London Fletcher. Re-siging McIntosh would seem to suggest the Redskins won't follow through on signing Lofa Tatupu, who was in for a visit Wednesday.

The Redskins' front office has reportedly "wavered" on the merits of re-signing free agent LB Rocky McIntosh.

McIntosh was ill-fitted for the new 3-4 defense, and he fared poorly in the coaching staff's 2010 evaluations. Given what we know about the Redskins plans, McIntosh is a poor bet to return.

The Redskins are not expected to retain impending free agent LB Rocky McIntosh for the 2011 season.

McIntosh wasn't awful in his first season as a 3-4 inside 'backer, racking up a career high 110 tackles, but the Skins weren't pleased that he skipped all of 2010 offseason workouts. Mike Shanahan is trying to run a tight ship.
