Aug 28, 2012

Lions RB Jahvid Best will have six more weeks — at least — to try to return from the concussion problems that have sidelined him since the middle of last season.

The Lions placed Best on the reserve physically unable to perform list Monday, the most prominent transaction in a busy day as they pared their roster to the 75-man limit.

Best cannot return before the Lions’ Oct. 22 Monday night game against the Bears.

“That’s within the range of where the doctors wanted him to be, so it made it an easy decision — or an easier decision. It’s not an easy decision, but it made it an easier decision,” Schwartz said. “But we’ll just wait and see. Like I keep saying, he’s looked extremely good in all his physical stuff and as soon as we can get him back and get clearance we will.”

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
