Reggie Bush will likely have a situational role as a punt returner in Detroit
Detroit Lions special teams coordinator John Bonamego says running back Reggie Bush will have a role as a returner.
“Reggie will have a role,” Bonamego told detroitlions.com. “Reggie (can return punts) and is willing to do it. That’s more situational — we need one, let’s put him back there and let’s see if he can make something happen.

‘Kickalicious’ Havard Rugland Impresses Lions, Continues Training With Detroit
After going 4-12 in the 2012-13 season, the Detroit Lions are not in a position to say “no” to any talent — no matter how quirky. This includes YouTube-famous Norwegian soccer players.

Detroit Lions hope to end age old bugaboo
Speak the word cornerback to any Detroit Lions fan and they will roll their eyes and shake their head before offering some derisive description of the position as it applies to their team. That is because the cornerback position has been problematic at best for longer than many fans can remember. But the Lions may be on the verge of correcting the situation with a group of youthful...

Mikel Leshoure:I’ve got to get healthy
Detroit Lions running back Mikel Leshoure had a prime opportunity to seize the lead dog spot in the backfield when Jahvid Best was not able to return due to his long-standing issue with concussions.

Jason Jones shunning media spotlight to count towards Lions
Jason Jones hasn’t stirred up much talk since he signed a three-year contract with the Detroit Lions in the March. But the relatively quiet transmission on that end shouldn’t be taken as a bad omen.
