Lions placed RB Mikel Leshoure on injured reserve with a torn left Achilles' tendon, ending his season. A procedural move after Leshoure suffered the injury in practice last Monday. An Achilles tear is one of the most serious injuries a football player can suffer, ending the careers of roughly a third of the players that suffer one. Leshoure's age and talent make him a prime candidate to return next season, but it will likely to be a much lower ceiling.
