Izien recorded nine total tackles (five solo), an interception and two passes defensed in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions.
Izien was thrust into a starting role at free safety with Antoine Winfield (foot) unavailable versus Detroit. Izien made the most of his opportunity, picking off Jared Goff in the fourth quarter. The 24-year-old will likely draw another start in Week 3 against the Broncos.
