ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Joique Bell could be headed for one big weekend.Bell picks up his masters degree in sports administration at Wayne State University on Saturday. The next day, he could make his season debut with the Detroit Lions in his return after they cut him in February.Its funny that my first week back here is the same week that I graduate, he said Wednesday.Desperate for depth in its banged-up backfield, Detroit brought Bell back by signing him Tuesday.The NFC North-leading Lions (8-4) might need Bell to play against the last-place Chicago Bears (3-9) on Sunday at Ford Field, less than a mile from where he expects 30 to 40 family members and friends to attend his commencement.Detroits starting running back, Theo Riddick, didnt practice Wednesday because of an ankle injury and his backup, Dwayne Washington, was limited because of an ankle issue. Ameer Abdullah began the season as the teams No. 1 running back, but he has been out with a foot injury since Week 2. That leaves Bell and Zach Zenner as the Lions only healthy running backs on the roster.Even though Bell is joining the team so late in the year, he did play for offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter last season in a similar offense.Its coming back to me and the more I look at stuff and Im like, `Oh, OK. I remember that, Bell said. When I go out there, Ill be able to play comfortably and I wont have to think as much.Bell insisted he wasnt surprised when the Lions new general manager, Bob Quinn, released him less than a year after he signed a two-year deal with former GM Martin Mayhew. In fact, Bell said he kept in touch with Quinn before and after Chicago signed him earlier this season. He had three carries for 6 yards on Oct. 2, when the Bears beat the Lions, and didnt run the ball once over the next three games before being cut.When I left the Bears, I texted (Quinn) back and said, `Bring me home, Bell recalled. He sent me a text the other day and said, `Do you want to come home? I said, `Yeah. My heart has never left here. My family is here. I played most of his career and built my foundation here.Bell, who is from Benton Harbor, Michigan, won the Harlon Hill Trophy as the NCAA Division II Player of the Year in 2009 at Wayne State, but that wasnt enough to get him drafted.After playing sparingly for Indianapolis and Philadelphia, he did enough well as a runner and receiver with the Lions to sign a $9.3 million, three-year contract in 2014.We certainly know what his traits are, Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said. Hes always been a very, very positive guy. A very, very good locker-room guy. Lot of energy. Loves to play the game. And hes a good, tough runner as well. Hes alright with the ball in his hands throwing it to him, also. There a number of different things that he can do.And soon, Bell will add another accomplishment to his resume when he walks across a stage in front of a crowd he is proud to say will include his 11-year-old son, Jordan.I always preach to the kids that Im trying to mentor, or kids that come to my camp, how important education is, he said. I dont want to tell them to do something that I havent done. So for me to come back to my alma mater and to finish my masters degree there and to be able to have my son there, thats probably one of the greatest experiences Ill ever have as a father.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Larry Lage at http://www.twitter.com/larrylage Yeezy 700 Utility Black Canada .C.

Yeezy Canada . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The move to the West Coast has done wonders for the Rams.Tavon Austin returned a punt 47 yards to set up Case Keenums 4-yard touchdown pass to Brian Quick with 2:36 to play, and Los Angeles improved to 3-1 for the first time in a decade, adding to Arizonas early season woes with a 17-13 victory Sunday.After years of mediocrity in St. Louis, the Rams are 3-1 for the first time since 2006, tied with Seattle for first in the NFC West.The Cardinals (1-3), the reigning NFC West champions and expected to contend for the Super Bowl, have lost as many games this year as they did all of last season, and two of them have been at home.Now they head to a Thursday night game in San Francisco almost certainly without Carson Palmer, who left late in Sundays loss to undergo the concussion protocol after his head was slammed to the turf on a sack by Aaron Donald.The sky is not falling for us, Arizona coach Bruce Arians said. Im sure it is for a bunch of the fans -- were as disappointed as they are -- but weve got a game Thursday night.Keenum threw two touchdown passes to Quick, including a 65-yard score in the first quarter.Good teams win the close games, Keenum said. It says we are fighters. We have done it on the road two times in a row. We are not going to dwell on where we are. We are looking ahead. We are looking at where we are going.The play that sent Palmer to the sidelines forced a punt and Austin raced past would-be tacklers to the Arizona 34. A facemask penalty against Ifeanyi Momah moved the ball to the 19 and the Rams (3-1) went ahead when Quick caught a pass under tight defense for the score.Arizona backup Drew Stanton was intercepted twice in the final minutes, including on a Hail Mary on the games final play.Arizona outgained the Rams 420-288 but committed five turnovers to the Rams one.The big thing for us was getting the turnovers, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. Then, offensively we are improving in the third-down area and keeping the ball alive.The Cardinals took their only lead of the game 13-10 on Chandler Catanzaros 21-yard field goal on the final play of the third quarter.Arizona had tied it at 10 on Palmers 5-yard toucchdown pass to Michael Floyd with 24 seconds left in the second quarter.ddddddddddddThe Cardinals offense stumbled through most of the first half and was hearing boos from the home crowd before finally getting moving in the final two minutes.QUICKS REDEMPTIONQuick caught only 10 passes for 102 yards and his future with the team was in doubt in training camp.When someone doubts you of course you are going to be motivated to prove them wrong, he said. You have to fight and be strong mentally. If they (his coaches) feel like things are a little shaky that means you have to do something better. There were some things I had to do. I had to improve and get better. `COSTLY PENALTIESA defensive holding penalty against the Cardinals kept the Rams first scoring drive alive and an offensive holding penalty nullified an Arizona touchdown moments later.The defensive hold on Patrick Peterson came when Keenum was sacked on third-and-five. Three plays later, Keenum connected with Quick for the long TD.The Cardinals drove to the Los Angeles 10 on their next possession and Chris Johnson ran for an apparent touchdown. But a holding penalty against Jermaine Gresham nullified the score and the Cardinals settled for a field goal.Another Arizona threat ended with a spectacular interception by Trumaine Johnson in the end zone.TURNOVERSTurnovers scuttled two Arizona scoring threats.The Cardinals were at the Rams 33 in the second quarter when Palmer threw deep and Johnson intercepted in the corner of the end zone.In the third quarter, Arizona recovered Keenums fumble and drove to the Los Angeles 26, but Aaron Donald hit Palmer, forcing a fumble that the Rams recovered.GREEN HONOREDCardinals wide receiver Roy Green was inducted into the teams Ring of Honor at halftime.Green played on offense, defense and on special teams in 12 seasons with the Cardinals (1979-90). He ranks second in franchise history in touchdowns, third in all-purpose yards and fourth in 100-yard receiving games.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
