Lions' running back situation still in state of flux

Phoenix – Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell is playing it cool about the status of the team's ground game.

He isn’t pretending the Lions don’t have to improve in that area, but he’s also not committing to needing to bolster the team’s running back depth.

During the NFC coaches breakfast at the league meetings on Tuesday, Caldwell said every position remains open to upgrade, but expressed confidence with the group he has.

Ameer Abdullah, who was primed for a breakout season as the lead option last season, suffered a season-ending foot injury in Week 2.
