Boss Bailey doesn't expect to play for Lions this season

ALLEN PARK, MICHIGAN - Lions linebacker Boss Bailey said Monday he does not expect to play this season.<br> <br> Bailey, a former Georgia Bulldog who had a strong rookie season last year, had surgery on his right knee in August. He started working out with his teammates last month, but has not played in a game.<br> <br> ``It&#39;s pretty doubtful that I&#39;ll play at all this year,&#39;&#39; Bailey said. ``There&#39;s a chance, but I just don&#39;t think my knee is going to be ready. It&#39;s a physical thing for the most part, but because my knee is not right physically, it&#39;s holding me back mentally.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> Bailey, the younger brother of Denver&#39;s Champ Bailey, made 109 tackles and started all 16 games for the Lions last season.<br> <br> ``I&#39;ll bounce back,&#39;&#39; he said. ``I&#39;m not worried about this being a thing that&#39;s going to slow me down in my career.&#39;&#39;
