Lions signed RB Mike Bell, formerly of the Browns.
The Lions are likely just kicking the tires on Bell after losing Mikel Leshoure (Achilles) for the season. Over the last three seasons, Bell has played for three different teams and averaged just 3.43 yards per carry. He's no lock to make the team ahead of Aaron Brown or Maurice Morris
Lions signed RB Jerome Harrison, formerly of the Eagles.
At 5'9/205, Harrison is more of a shifty speed back than the power complement the Lions were seeking for Jahvid Best. But Harrison was the best free agent running back left on the market, fits in coordinator Scott Linehan's system as a pass-catcher and is talented enough to spell Best on early downs. Best still projects to receive 15-18 touches per game and the goal-line job remains up for grabs. Harrison is a solid handcuff.
