Where the Lions roster stands: Running back

A breakdown of the Detroit Lions' running backs and what needs they may have at the position.

As we start to look ahead to training camp, we're going to take a position-by-position look at the Detroit Lions roster. Next up is the running back position. (The final year of each player's contract is listed in parentheses.)

Going into training camp, running back is one of the more intriguing positions on the roster. I say that because Joique Bell missed the Lions' OTAs and minicamp after having offseason surgery, giving second-round pick Ameer Abdullah a big opportunity to impress his new coaches.
