Lions | K. Smith to remain No. 1 running back
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.
