With rookie RB Mikel Leshoure out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon, the Lions are left with a lot of questions at the backup running back position.
The position to be the backup to starter Jahvid Best is probably the most wide-open out of any other position in camp.
Here is how each of candidates vying for the job did against Cincinnati on Friday night…
Ian Johnson: 9 carries for 21 yards, a 2.3-yard average.
Aaron Brown: 4-21-5.3 (with a 17-yarder).
Jerome Harrison: 6-8-1.3.
Mike Bell: 5-5-1.0
Maurice Morris: Missed the game due to a broken hand.
Head coach Jim Schwartz was hoping that someone would emerge from the pack however this hasn’t happened yet.
