Jaguars LB Peterson inactive for game at Lions

Nov 9, 2008 - 6:08 PM DETROIT (Ticker) -- Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Mike Peterson is inactive for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions.

Peterson had been banished from the locker room after clashing with coach Jack Del Rio on Wednesday.

Del Rio met with Peterson on Friday to air out their differences and allowed the linebacker to rejoin the team.

Peterson was sent home from practice and chastised by Del Rio on Wednesday for flexing his muscles following a sack with Jacksonville trailing the Cincinnati Bengals, 21-3, in last week's game.

The Jaguars (3-5) suffered a 21-19 loss to previously winless Cincinnati, their second straight defeat.

Peterson leads in tackles with 85. He is in the final year of his contract and repeatedly has expressed displeasure about his situation.

Earlier in the week, Peterson also questioned the Jaguars' chemistry.
