According to mlive.com, Lions RB Tatum Bell reported a little overweight and Lions coach Rod Marinelli is aware of it, but isn't making a big deal about it. Yet. "He might be up there a little bit more," Marinelli said of Bell. "Like I told these guys, 'Just make sure of where you're at.' It's still the offseason but I want to make sure we're working toward the perfect weight when they enter (training) camp. I'm aware of every guy. Right now, it's making sure we're on course to where we should be." Bell will likely open the season as the backup to rookie Kevin Smith. Bell is competing for playing time with Aveion Cason, Brian Calhoun and Artose Pinner. (Updated 05/09/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Bell didn't help his situation by coming into minicamp out of shape. Smith will be motivated to win the job, so Bell could be looking at another season of coming off the bench. (Updated 05/09/2008).
