Joique Bell predicted a bounce-back season for himself this fall after battling injuries much of last year. If that's going to happen now, it won't be with the Detroit Lions.
The Lions cut Bell today, saving $2.5 million in cap space and saying good-bye to one of their best rags-to-riches stories.
Bell, who is from Benton Harbor, starred at Wayne State and bounced around the NFL for two seasons before finding a role as a backup in Detroit.
He rushed for 414 yards in limited action in 2012, teamed with Reggie Bush to give the Lions a two-headed backfield a year later and led the team with 860 yards rushing and seven touchdowns in 2014.
