Any sign of LeShoure today?

Not heartbroken, just curious.

You can scratch him from the roster.

#BCLions have turned the page on former NFL running back Mikel Leshoure, a no-show for the #CFL team's, two-day mini-camp this week.

Possibly. Since there were disciplinary problems with his former NFL team it could be past criminal record problems or he could just be a flake, or changed his mind and didn't bother to inform the Lions etc.

Anyway I think the Lions have the RB position covered pretty well with Rainy plus Allen and Johnson means 3 experienced CFL RBs in camp.

Still have one FA tryout to go through. No doubt his deletion will open up a TC spot for someone who may have shown well in one of the camps or was otherwise on their radar.

Looks like Mikel Leshoure's place on the roster has been taken by Virginia Tech running back J.C. Coleman.

From the above article: "The 5' 6", 187lb speedster..." At 5' 6" you better be a speedster as that is small even for the CFL. 187lbs is ok but his size means he is likely a kick return guy or PR player.
