Lions | No word on Jahvid Best's long-term status

Detroit Lions RB Jahvid Best (concussion) won't play this season after the team opted to keep him on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. "There has been subsequent evaluation and consultation regarding Jahvid since our last update (October 15)," general manager Martin Mayhew said. "As has been the case throughout, we have deferred to the medical experts and support their current recommendation that Jahvid not return to the field this season." Mayhew did not address Best's long-term future, but the team has clearly missed his speed and versatility in the backfield. The Lions may have to make a decision on his future with them before the NFL Draft or free-agent period after this season.
