Lions RB Riddick not a roster lock

Johnson to lead Lions backfield, but…

Detroit Lions running back KERRYON JOHNSON is expected to be fully healthy, while entering the 2019 season as the team’s unquestioned top running back. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, head coach MattMore Patricia believes that a team needs “at least two” running backs to be successful.

Kerryon Johnson will miss this week with a knee injury; he might be out multiple games. That leaves the Lions with just third-down back Theo Riddick and short-yardage guy LeGarrette Blount. A shame they recently released Ameer Abdullah. But the Lions say they're confident in Zach Zenner.   more »

Abdullah on roster bubble in Detroit

With veterans LEGARRETTE BLOUNT and THEOMore RIDDICK, along with rookie KERRYON JOHNSON assured of roster spots, Abdullah may be fortunate to even make the team.

Around the NFL: Detroit Lions

I was surprised when the Lions didn’t draft a running back. They’ve averaged a league-low 85 rushing yards per game over the last three years, and Ameer Abdullah has been plagued by injuries and fumbles.   more »
