Jeff Legwold and Lee Rasizer, of the Rocky Mountain News, report Denver Broncos FB Spencer Larsen would have seen duty in the team's Week 14 game had RB Tatum Bell went down with an injury. The team lost FB Peyton Hillis (hamstring) earlier in the game with a hamstring injury. "I opened up the book and went through all the protections and all the routes off protections," Larsen said, adding, "I was praying that Tatum stayed healthy. I would have gone in and done it, but it wouldn't have been a position I would have felt very comfortable in."

Updating previous reports, Jason Cole, of Yahoo! Sports, reports free-agent RB Tatum Bell (Lions) feels NFL teams will shy away from signing him until the matter surrounding him taking Detroit Lions RB Rudi Johnson's luggage is cleared up. Bell, as reported, said he did not realize they were Johnson's bags and has since returned them. However, Johnson claims several items - including money, credit cards and underwear - are still missing. Since the incident, Bell said teams have not contacted him about coming in for a visit.

Kevin Seifert, of ESPN.com, reports free-agent RB Tatum Bell (Lions) feels his NFL career could be in jeopardy because he is perceived as a thief around the league. Bell said he unknowingly took the bags of Detroit Lions RB Rudi Johnson from the team's practice facility earlier this week. "I'm very, very concerned that this is my career here," Bell said. "The teams that were interested before, they've already got players for that role now. And as long as it's out there that I'm a thief, it's going to be hard. I guess I need to go to Plan B, which is just to find a way to take care of my family."

Kevin Seifert, of ESPN.com, reports free-agent RB Tatum Bell (Lions) said he thought the bags he took from the Detroit Lions practice facility belonged to free-agent DL Victor DeGrate (Lions) and not RB Rudi Johnson. According to Bell, DeGrate asked Bell to pick up his bags from the facility and bring them to a female acquaintance. "I want to defend myself," Bell said, "but every time I do, it's like I'm throwing Victor under the bus and I don't want to do that. So I'm almost like, 'I've got to stop bringing his name into it.' But that's what happened. I'm not lying. And right now, everyone's putting it out there that I'm a thief. They're acting like I got released, and I was mad, so I took the bags of the guy they brought in behind me. But it's not true, and that's what's hurting me so much right now. I woke up this morning and I pretty much don't know what to do about it anymore. It's frustrating."

Mike O'Hara, of The Detroit News, reports Detroit Lions RB Tatum Bell has not done anything to put a stranglehold on the No. 1 running back position. He was not in the best of shape during the offseason and showed little in the team's first preseason game by rushing for just 8 yards on seven carries. It appears Bell, who does not play on special teams, will make the team's final roster but it isn't out of the realm of possibility that his job with the Lions is in jeopardy.

Detroit Lions head coach Rod Marinelli said there haven't been too many big runs by RBs Tatum Bell and Kevin Smith so far. He noted the team has had some penalties and need to avoid shooting themselves in the foot. Bell and Smith are rotating into the offense. Marinelli said he has to wait until he gets them on film to see the cuts and vision they have on the field. "When you don't tackle them, it's hard to really (get a) feel," Marinelli said.
