    C.J. Anderson: Cut by Lions

    The Lions released C.J. Anderson on Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.In a surprising turn of events, the Lions claimed Paul Perkins off waivers and sent Anderson packing. Anderson had a decent role in the offense Week 1 with 11 carries for 35 yards, but he was outproduced by rookie Ty Johnson (6-30-0) in Week 2 while mustering just eight yards on five carries. Kerryon Johnson will now be the unequivocal lead back in Detroit with Ty Johnson, Perkins and J.D. McKissic rotating in.

    Lions' C.J. Anderson: Downturn in playing time

    C.J. Anderson rushed five times for eight yards during Sunday's 13-10 victory over the Chargers.After comfortably out-snapping Ty Johnson 24 to eight in Week 1, Anderson was third among Detroit Lions running backs with 12 snaps behind Johnson's 13. The sixth-round rookie looked like he should have taken all of them and utimately led the team with 6.0 yards per carry. It'll be interesting to see if there's actually a changing of the guard taking place behind Kerryon Johnson when Detroit travels to Philadelphia in Week 3.

    Lions' C.J. Anderson: Significant role in season opener

    C.J. Anderson rushed 11 times for 35 yards during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Cardinals.Kerryon Johnson ultimately led the team with 16 carries, but the workload was just about even between the two running backs throughout most of regulation. While it's still far too soon to tell if either of them is considered the team's primary goal-line back, Anderson is still an injury away from being a reliable fantasy contributor. At this point in time, he shouldn't be considered anything more than Johnson's handcuff in deeper formats.

    Lions' C.J. Anderson: Gets eight carries in dress rehearsal

    C.J. Anderson rushed eight times for 24 yards and secured both of his targets for 17 yards during Friday's preseason game against the Bills.Anderson remains second in line behind Kerryon Johnson for touches, but it's starting to seem possible that Ty Johnson could also cut into Anderson's playing time this season. Ty Johnson, who caught his only pass for an 11-yard touchdown Friday, shares some similarities with the departed Theo Riddick. Perhaps the most significant development for all Detroit Lions runners, though, is the possibility that center Frank Ragnow (leg) went down with a potential long-term injury.

    Lions' C.J. Anderson: Two carries in preseason loss

    C.J. Anderson rushed twice for six yards during Saturday's preseason loss to the Texans.Anderson served as the clear No. 2 back behind Kerryon Johnson, but there doesn't seem to be anyone else around to give Anderson competition for the job. He could see more involvement during the third preseason game Friday against Buffalo.

    Lions' C.J. Anderson: Getting reps with first-team offense

    C.J. Anderson is getting work with the first-team offense during two-minute drills, Chris Burke of the Athletic reports.The Kerryon Johnson hype train has all but left the station after the Detroit Lions' recent release of Theo Riddick, but not all signs point toward Johnson being thrust into a true workhorse role. Not only does head coach Matt Patricia hail from a Patriots organization that deployed a committee approach to the running back position, but Anderson seems to have turned heads in training camp and is now getting run with the hurry-up offense. While Johnson should nonetheless earn the lion's share of snaps in 2019, it's possible Anderson could play a bigger role than most people realize -- especially if Johnson continues to struggle in pass protection as he has in recent joint practices with New England.
