The Facts:
Garcia will take a physical -- probably in the next two days -- as part of their search for a qualified veteran backup for Joey Harrington. Head coach Steve Mariucci said Friday that he expects Garcia to be examined "as soon as we can" by Lions doctors at the NFL scouting combine. "We are trying to determine who the best addition would be to our pitching staff," Mariucci said. "And he's a candidate."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Although other quarterbacks are available or will become available at the start of free agency next week, Garcia is considered by many as the leading candidate for the Lions because of his background with Mariucci's West Coast offense. ... Of course, the Lions are only one of a number of teams -- including the Jets, Bucs, Ravens and Cardinals -- looking for veteran depth at the position. Stay tuned. We haven't heard the last of this one.
