(AP) -- ALLEN PARK, Mich. - The Detroit Lions have made roster moves to clear space for top draft pick Ndamukong Suh.

Detroit added Suh and safety Randy Phillips to the team Wednesday and released safety Marquand Manuel along with defensive tackle Leger Douzable.

Phillips made seven interceptions in his career at Miami. He was a team leader for the Hurricanes last year in his fifth season after having knee surgery two years ago as a senior. Phillips has 18 siblings and is from Belle Glade, Fla.

Manuel started in six games for the Lions last season. He started 43 times from 2005 through 2008 in Denver, Green Bay, Carolina and Seattle and eight times in 2002 as a rookie with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Douzable played in 12 games last year for the St. Louis Rams.
