Lions have been trying out kickers, including Rob Bironas:

Horrible news.
Alex Henery will be their new kicker; Nate Freese is out after missing some chip shots and basically just giving everyone something bad to focus on. Henery has NFL experience I believe.
Freese will probably wind up replacing some other lower-end team when their regular kicker goes out on injury. He’ll wind up scarred for life, but when that team faces the Lions, Freese will perform like a future Hall of Famer. :’)
