Detroit Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy will undergo surgery on his injured hip, head coach Jim Caldwell announced Wednesday.

Caldwell said no decision has been made regarding whether or not Levy will be placed on the injured reserve list. Levy will be out of the lineup indefinitely.

Levy missed the first four games of the season because of the hip problem before returning to the lineup against the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday. He reaggravated the injury in the 42-17 loss, leaving the game in the first half and did not return. He did not record any tackles.

The 28-year-old Levy was a second-team All-Pro selection in 2014 after recording 151 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one interception. Levy signed a five-year extension with the Lions before the start of the season.
