The Lions placed running back Joique Bell on the physically unable to perform list to open training camp after an offseason that saw Bell undergo surgeries on both his knee and Achilles, but they aren’t concerned about Bell falling behind in the offense.
Coach Jim Caldwell said that Bell “understands and knows how to run the ball” in the team’s offensive scheme, which leaves the team “majorly concerned” with getting the back healthy enough to actually run the ball. As of now, though, the team doesn’t have any idea about when that is going to be.
