Lions' runners all in question, kind of

Detroit RBs JOIQUE BELL (ankle) and THEO RIDDICK (groin) are both questionable for tomorrow's game against a pretty lousy Chicago defense, but while we might ordinarily be excited to see rookie AMEER ABDULLAH finally face a soft opponent, it's hard to have much faith after he was benched for fumbling twice a week ago. With the Lions now sitting at 0-5, you figure Abdullah should get plenty of chances to work through his problems -- the team isn't going anywhere, so why not let the rookie try to build momentum -- but what should happen and what does are not always the same thing in Detroit. Watch the news tomorrow morning, and if either Bell or Riddick is inactive, consider this a mild endorsement of Abdullah.
