  1. The Detroit Lions have announced the signings of running backs Jerome Harrison and Mike Bell. Lions second-round running back Mikel Leshoure was lost for the season to a torn Achilles' tendon on Monday. Harrison was a fifth-round pick out of Washington State by the Cleveland Browns in 2006. After spending his first three seasons as a backup, Harrison received more playing in 2009, rushing for 862 yards and five touchdowns and catching 34 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns. The 6-foot, 225-pound Bell is nearly identical in size to Leshoure, who was drafted to be the power running back complement to the speedy Jahvid Best.

    Lol. And both could be fighting for a roster spot. Interesting.
