Lions running back Mikel Leshoure would welcome being traded, according to an ESPN report. Despite being healthy, Leshoure was inactive for the Lions' season-opening win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 2011 second-round pick had clearly fallen behind Joique Bell on the depth chart during training camp and the preseason, while rookie Theo Ridrod offers more as a special teams contributor. While it won't be announced until 90 minutes before kickoff, there is little reason to expect Leshoure will be active for this week's contest in Arizona. Leshoure has taken his status in stride, telling MLive.com this week, "As a player, you want to play. You want to be out there. But at the end of the day, you're a professional. You got to (tune) that out and do what's best for the team and what the coaches ask from you. I don't have a problem with that." Source: MLive.com
