The Lions signed RB Joique Bell and DB Asa Jackson on Tuesday, in the wake of injuries at running back and corner. The Lions shut down Armonty Bryant and Brandon Pettigrew to open up the roster space for these much-needed additions.

Bell was a fan-favorite that was released in the offseason. At 30-years-old, his best days are likely behind him.
