Lions | K. Smith to remain No. 1 running back
Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:21:58 -0800

Carlos Monarrez, of the Detroit Free Press, reports Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said RB Kevin Smith (shoulder) remains the team's primary running back despite RB Maurice Morris sharing the load with Smith in Week 8 and being effective. Schwartz said the workload split was the result of a shoulder injury to Smith during the game. "I don't think that anything has changed from the fact of Kevin is our lead running back and Maurice is the complementary running back," Schwartz said. Smith started in Week 8 and had 16 carries for 45 yards. Morris had 14 carries for 63 yards.

Lions | K. Smith says he doesn’t have any bone damage
Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:31:50 -0700

DetroitLions.com reports Detroit Lions RB Kevin Smith (shoulder) said he has not suffered any bone damage in his shoulder. Smith said, "I mean, I'm not ready to play if we had to play a game tomorrow and that's from the general soreness, but I'm 22 years old and I usually heal pretty fast. There's nothing. I don't have any bone damage or anything like that. It's just icing down, what you have to do in the NFL. You're not going to be healthy a lot of weeks, so I got to spend most of the hours of the day icing down, getting treatment, to get myself back." Head coach Jim Schwartz said the team is waiting for test results on Smith's shoulder before deciding how to move forward. If Smith is forced to sit out Week 4, he would be replaced by RB Maurice Morris.
