Back with Detroit
The Lions re-signed Skipper to a one-year contract Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A fan favorite in Detroit, Skipper appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Lions last season and made five starts. He should again fill his sixth offensive lineman role as the Lions' top backup behind starting tackles Taylor Decker and Penei Sewell.
