This guy is like BRAND new as a player and has played VERY little , so I hope we give him double digit opportunities , keep feeding him the ball and find out what his strengths & weaknesses are but give him a fair chance here.

I’m so excited to have a cast off player from such a perennial RB power house like GB… :joy:

Super bowl here we come. BQ is a joke. We need starters and depth on the dline. He’s trying to be like NE .

This guy can’t stay healthy. Big back, 5’11", 228. Lions need someone to pickup the short yards/goal line situations.

Anyone have info on KJs injury?

I still don’t know why we didn’t keep Mark Thompson, instead we churn through a different RB every week.

I agree. I thought Mark Thompson looked pretty good. Is he still available?

He’s on the Ravens practice squad. He could sign to the Lions active roster if the Lions request it.
