Detroit Lions running back Mikel Leshoure will miss his entire rookie season with a torn Achilles' tendon suffered during Monday's practicen, the Detroit Leshoure was carted off the team's practice field after being hit high by defensive end Cliff Avril.

Leshoure grabbed his left ankle when he was being looked at by the training staff. Trainers also worked on his calf and foot.

The Lions were counting on the second-round pick from Illinois to provide power in the backfield to go along with the speedy Jahvid Best.

Detroit's starting offensive tackles and a key backup also are recovering from injuries.

Looks like the Cowboys could have a trading partner in Detroit for Choice if they decide to trade him.

I think this is a guy the Cowboys liked a lot in the draft. Hate to see he's loosing an entire year to injury.

achilles and acl are two different injuries.

Fixed. Sorry, heavy competition to get a post out first.

Choice would be a nice fit there for a late pick. Good inside runner who would compliment Best well.

Let us hope it is not one sided again.

Scary part of training camp, hate to see anyone miss the season before the season even starts. But we know it is going to happen.
