Joique Bell: (Ankle) Limited Thursday

Bell (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Analysis:

Fellow back Reggie Bush continued his limited showings in drills, meaning Bell and Bush will likely work in their intended tandem out of the backfield Sunday in New England. Expect Bell to take on most of the carries, with Bush serving as a dual threat out of the Lions' backfield.
