The Detroit Lions have acquired defensive tackle Orien Harris in a trade with the St. Louis Rams for wide receiver Ronald Curry.

The 6-foot-3, 300-pound Harris was traded to St. Louis by Cincinnati on May 6. He appeared in 14 games for the Bengals last season.

Harris was drafted in the fourth round, 133rd overall, by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006. He signed later that season with Cleveland and appeared in two games with the Browns, then spent most of 2007 on the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad before being signed to the New Orleans’ Saints 53-player roster for the last two games of that season.

Harris played four seasons at Miami (Fla.), from 2002-05, appearing in 48 games with 34 starts.
