The struggling Detroit Lions have shaken up their front office.
Lions president Tom Lewand and general manager Martin Mayhew were fired on Thursday. Team owner Martha Firestone Ford announced the moves and did not take questions from reporters.
Sheldon White will be the team's acting general manager, reporting directly to Ford.
The Lions are an NFC-worst 1-7 under second-year coach Jim Caldwell, whose staff was not affected by the changes.
