Schwartz: Jahvid Best not in Lions' plans

Jahvid Best - RB - Detroit Lions

Feb. 21, 2013 - 3:50 PM ET

Coach Jim Schwartz confirmed the Lions will approach the 2013 offseason as if Jahvid Best (concussions) is not on the roster.

The Lions are pursuing a speed back to pair with early-down bruiser Mikel Leshoure. Asked specifically about free agent Reggie Bush, Schwartz replied, "Has tampering season officially opened? We're worried about our own team right now, we're evaluating every single player ... and we'll leave no stone unturned."
