lennykravitz2004 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 The Detroit Lions placed veteran running back Kevin Smith on season-ending injured reserve for the second consecutive year and signed linebacker Caleb Campbell off the practice squad in time for Sunday's showdown with the Dallas Cowboys. The Detroit Free Press reported Saturday that the Lions shelved Smith, who injured his thumb during last week's 14-12 loss to the Buffalo Bills, to open up roster room for the season's final stretch. Smith had surgery on the thumb Thursday and hoped to shed a hard cast for a splint by next week, according to The Free Press. Smith, who led the Lions in rushing in 2008 and 2009, missed the first three weeks of this season while on the mend from knee surgery. Running back Maurice Morris will assume the No. 2 running back role behind starter Jahvid Best. I sure hope is toes are fully healed.

DMD Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Even if he gets them all, will he do anything with them? That was my thought exactly. He runs for 40 yards instead of 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatchDork Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 doesn't have have multiple injuries? I thought about picking up MM or Aaron, but that OL needs a bit of work. If neither Best nor Smith can consistently gain yardage behind Detroit's OL, what makes you think MM or Aaron Brown will do anything of fantasy note?
