Word is, we cut RB Aaron Brown to make room for Bell on the roster.

Yeah, he's a bigger back and more of a north/south runner.

He's built like Michael Turner. I liked what I saw of him at the Senior Bowl. Good guy to give a shot.
IIRC he was with the Bills for a while this year too.

It's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you look playing the game

Re: Lions sign RB Joique Bell to active roster
I think he started with the Bills, and at some point, ended up with the Saints before the season started. Right?
