    Reserve tailback Joique Bell Left the 31-17 victory Sunday against the Browns. Bell felt a rib "pop" on his first carry of the fourth quarter and tried to continue, but decided against it when he felt the rib pop again on the sideline.

    "I stayed on for another play -- tried to play through it," Bell said. "We had a run-pass option and (Reggie Bush) caught it. I got back there with Matt (Stafford), who was in shotgun, looked at Matt and said 'Pass! Pass! Pass!' We get to the sideline and he's like, 'I thought you was telling me to pass because you liked the look.'

    "At the time, it wasn't really that bad. Went to the sideline and told the coaches I was good to go. I was about to run back out when I did a certain movement and it just kind of pops. I couldn't go. I wanted to stay in. It hurt my heart to stay out."
