The Detroit Lions will have to get used to life without Kerry Hyder on their defensive line.

The Lions received the worst possible news Monday regarding last year's sack leader, as a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that Hyder will miss the upcoming season after tearing his Achilles.

The defensive end was carted off the field just one quarter into Sunday's preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts. Head coach Jim Caldwell stated after the game that the injury was "significant," but didn't offer further details.
