After missing all of last season with injury, Mikel Leshoure got arrested twice this offseason in marijuana related incidents. Given that he has a past criminal history dating back to his time at Illinois, most expect him to be given some sort of suspension by commissioner Roger Goodell, which would further delay the 2^nd round pick’s NFL debut. According to the Detroit News, that suspension could only be 2 games.

The Detroit News mentions that Leshoure has enrolled in the NFL’s substance abuse program and has been taking drug tests multiple times per week and passing them all. Because of this, Goodell could definitely be lenient with his suspension. Leshoure is also rehabbing from his torn Achilles, but he is recovering fine and should be able to play whenever Goodell lets him. He has no major past injury history like teammates Jahvid Best and Kevin Smith so he should be good to go this season. The Lions are counting on him and Best to give them the rushing attack they’ve lacked for years and bring another dimension to an already explosive offense.
