DETROIT (AP) -- Defensive end Cliff Avril has reported to Detroit Lions training camp.
Avril signed his tender Sunday and will make $10.6 million this season as franchise-tagged player. He didn't report with his teammates to training camp on July 26 and missed more than a week of practice.
''Ready to get this thing rolling,'' he said.
Avril is the only NFL player with at least 19 1/2 sacks, nine deflected passes, seven forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries the previous two years. He said he knew all along which day he'd report to camp.
