Lions RB Kevin Smith (ankle, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 13. Smith got Friday off as a precaution and is considered a game-time call for Sunday night. With the late kickoff, we wouldn't advise owners to risk waiting on him unless they also have Maurice Morris on the roster. Still, it looks like he's going to play.

Lions RB Kevin Smith (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Smith stretched and did a little work on the side with the training staff. The good news is that if he had a high ankle sprain (as was initially reported), he'd just be staying off of it. At this point, we're expecting Maurice Morris to get the start against the Saints, but Smith could return if his ankle responds to treatment.

The Detroit Lions announced today they will place running Jahvid Best on season-ending injured reserve because of ongoing concussion problems. The move is not expected to become official until next week.

Running back Kevin Smith suffered a high ankle sprain against the Packers, and his availability for next week's game against the New Orleans Saints is in question

If Smith can't play against the Saints, Maurice Morris will start at running back, and the Lions likely will have to add another player at the position. Aaron Brown and DeShawn Wynn are among the running backs who’ve worked for the Lions already this year.

Kevin Smith's comeback of the year story was put on ice — literally. He spent the last three quarters with an ice pack taped to his right ankle.

"It wasn't that bad, it's just a matter of I couldn't cut," said Smith, who had rushed for 36 yards and caught three passes for 21 yards before the injury. "If I can't help, I can't play. That's the bottom line. I've got 10 days. In my mind, I'll be ready. We will see what happens."

He injured the ankle — a high ankle sprain according to the Fox Sports broadcast — flipping the ball to Calvin Johnson on a double-reverse.

"My X-ray came back negative, so that's a positive," Smith said. "That's just part of the game. I was just cutting back, and someone fell on it. It's disappointing. I felt like I had a good flow. It felt like we were doing good."

Fantasy Impact:

Maurice Morris is back on the fantasy radar, and should have RB3/flex value while Smith and Jahvid Best remain sidelined.
