Ronnie Brown Trade Voided Because Of Health Issues With Jerome Harrison

There's a reason the Detroit Lions did not announce anything about the Ronnie Brown trade. They didn't want to jump the gun in case something came up before all of the physicals had been passed and everything was official.
As it turns out, that was a good decision, because Adam Schefter is reporting that something has in fact come up. According to Schefter, the trade has been voided because Jerome Harrison "had health issues." Whether or not that means Harrison failed his physical I'm not sure, but it really doesn't matter. What does matter is Harrison is still a Lion and Brown is still an Eagle.
This puts the Lions in a tough spot. It's going to be pretty awkward for Harrison to return to a team that tried to trade him, especially considering his health was the reason the deal didn't go through. The Lions wanted to upgrade the running back position by adding Brown, and now they're stuck with an apparently unhealthy Harrison.
If the deal had been voided in advance of the trade deadline, the Lions could have tried to work out a different deal. Since the trade deadline has passed, the Lions are stuck with Maurice Morris, Keiland Williams, Jahvid Best and Harrison as their running backs unless they release one of them and bring in a free agent.

Well, this sucks
I liked the deal. Brown would have been a much needed upgrade at the RB position.

Might as well waive Harrison at this point.
Out of Mikel Leshoure, Maurice Morris, and Jahvid Best, James Davis probably has the best chance of having any relevance in 2012, so get him on the roster now. Meanwhile, we need a closer look at Keiland Williams.
It could turn out that none of them are here next season, with likely 3 new components on the OL.

By none are you including LeShoure
Because regardless of how he plays he will not be cut next year.

The only way Jahvid leaves is trade or retirement.
They wouldn’t cut him either, and I doubt they’d trade him.

Oh, I agree, Skylar...
one more concussion, I’d hope to see him retire for his own good. The Lions knew he was a risk when they drafted him. They just can’t continue to misuse him, for something he is not, and then losing him completely, along with the threat he brings. They have to do a better job of protecting one of their key offensive assets, by limiting his runs between the tackles, and just hope he can avoid another head injury. I don’t want to see him leaving the game in a permanent fog.

what if the concussions didn't occur on runs between the tackles?
how would what you’re saying have helped him? I understand that you’re saying, this to try and reduce exposure to risk. The thing is that if you’re playing the game with a fear of injury then you need to quit playing the game. If the coaches have to scheme for him differently because of a risk of injury then he does indeed need to retire. The reason to limit his runs between the tackles is he’s not very effective at it.

By the start of the season?
Normal recovery is 12-16 months on those, and there’s no telling what kind of explosiveness he’ll have left, nor what kind of durability. Yeah… it’s a crap shoot now. Derrick Wlliams would have better odds making the 53 man roster in 2012.
Don’t be surprised if he starts out on the PUP. No, they won’t cut him

Aaron Brown
I still like the idea of re-signing Aaron Brown. He fits the mold of what the Lions like out of Best. He knows the playbook and can step in right away. I feel as comfortable with him just as much as MoMo. It’s refreshing to see the speedy dude back there knowing he can make people miss and can get yards in a hurry.
That was my thoughts too
My have to release Jerome Harrison. Bringing Brown back may be awkward too. The issues of Brown’s departure might be the reason they did not do that earlier.
What about signing Ian Johnson from the 49ers practice squad? He was our most productive Runner in the preseason.

I agree
I though Aaron was the best Lions back in pre-season. Every time I looked, it was a 15 yard run.
This bites
One would bet Harrison isn’t healthy enough to play for us either. With the deadline past perhaps be will bring Aaron Brown back. Or least likely K smoove. Not news I expected or wanted I guess it was to good to be true.

Not for sure what the rules are but can you out rite cut an injured player under contract or does he have to go to IR to clear a roster spot. If not he’ll be cut and we’ll sign a new back. A failed physical gives him no value this year.

Same reason as Leshoure...
18 months after ruptured achilles, and he’s outta football; despite having a bit of a resume.

You seem very set on LeShoure's career being over with.
Maybe this piece from Ty at Lions in Winter will convince you to wait before you draw that conclusion.
Also:
I don’t know all of the inside details, but I would guess Lendale White’s problems catching on with a team are more related to his well documented work ethic/attitude problems then his Achilles. For example, Pete Caroll, his college coach and the man who convinced Seattle to trade for him, cut him one month after he acquired him, and before he went to Denver and blew his Achilles. Comparing his situation to LeShoure’s seems some kind of silly, guy.
I'm familiar with the study...
and also have posted about this, with the emphasis on Leshoure being 21. Ty does not address the issue of a loss in explosiveness, unless he’s including it in the whole age/average NFL life point he makes. BTW, a typo on that 18 months… meant to type 10 months
No way I’ve written off Leshoure, but unlike most Lions fans, who are assuming that he’ll be resuming at his draft condition, I’m not one of them; there’s not enough reason to assume that. LenDale White is one example of the same injury, but his work ethic problems were behind him in Tennessee, and of course, White had other issues, but was a top performer, when he was a slob in the physique area, and they resigned him, even after Johnson had become the featured back. Traded to Seatle, Carroll cut him after word of him failing a drug test. Denver signed him to a 2yr contract, and then the injury happened in September 2010. He was released this past August. You can’t predict what Leshoure is going to go through.
A better question might be, “what makes you so sure that Leshoure will be available in the same shape, to assume the role he was drafted for?” As the study suggests, these injuries are rare, and almost unheard of at 21. Tell me of a player who has come back from this, which gives you the confidence that his rehab will be all a done deal, and before the normal 12-16 months after surgical repair. What seems silly, is the majority of fans who have him penciled in for the start of the 2012 season, and with the same toolset.
I have no expectations that he will have the same explosiveness, and am aware that there are many other complications that could arise out of this. I haven’t any reason to hope against optimism; I’m just a realist, and prepared for how unfortunate this rupture could mean going beyond this season.

Fair enough.
Though as long as we’re being fair, I’ve never suggested that LeShoure will be the same RB that he was when we drafted him; I’ve merely said that there’s no reason as of right now to assume that he’ll be unproductive when he does return. He very well may be terrible when he gets back on the field, but given his age and the fact that his surgery was performed by the best in the business he also could very well come back as a very productive RB who’s a half-step slower.
We’ll just have to wait and see.
I wonder how many snatched him off of waivers, and dumped a good back-up?

of course Jonas has the soothsayer Arnie Kander looking after him. If Leshoure is able to keep the rest of his body strong and rehab his achilles, he could easily come back compensating for a potential loss of step with added strength.

3 things
Mo will give it all every time.
I like the Ian Johnson idea specially with him knowing the playbook and his work ethic
Only because I put him on a platform above all others I’m sure Barry Sanders could play out a shortened season. What a story that would be. He’s only what 43? In deity years thats nothin.
I agree with others that Brown looked like the best back
But the coaches must see something they don’t like in him for them to not bring him back.

Sorry, cut it off.
NFL Lions News: CBS NFL Insider Mike Freeman is noting that people close to Lions RB Jahvid Best are telling him to sit out the rest of the season. This comes in light of Best suffering his second concussion of the season.
I read something a couple of days a go about the possibility of him being done for the year but that was really speculative.
The whole drafting of high pick running backs and trading up to do it, just completely pisses me off as a complete waste of picks. But what do I know.
Sooooo basically del what your saying is..
we should grab a RB early in the draft?lol, i agree we need to upgrade that line at any cost, shit trade JB for a higher pick if we have to.That line is a liability for anything that stands,runs, or blocks behind it.I say block because even those blocking behind them can get pushed over by the line being blown 10 yards back every fucking play!
I’ve been on this one for 2 years. It’s just grinds me to my football core belief and I can’t let it go…..lol
So we end up with a scrub RB after all this Sunday, now that’s how the position should be filled, with an adequate grinder capable of moving the ball.
I personally like momo
I also like Kwill, I feel the same as you though it doesnt really matter what you put behind that line unless its AP. They arent going anywhere fast, other than a few very lucky plays a game.
I'm sure multiple folks are telling him that, including ones with M.D. on their jackets
