ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Sunday Countdown that the Lions are "hopeful" Jahvid Best (concussions, PUP) will be ready to play in Week 7 against the Bears, a Monday Night Football game.
Schefter cautioned that the Lions don't know anything for sure, but this is the hope for now. Best will go through a battery of concussion tests this week, at which point the organization will have a better idea of his true return timetable. It sounds like he could return to the lineup immediately if he passes the testing with flying colors. Best would likely assume a fairly significant role behind struggling Mikel Leshoure, being used ala Darren Sproles. He's worth grabbing in all fantasy leagues as a "stash" to see what happens.
