The Facts:
Best, who has not played since suffering another concussion last October, likely will start this season on the physically unable to perform list and miss at least the first six games, a source familiar with the situation told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Doctors still have not cleared Best to play, a surprise to some Lions officials but evidence of how carefully Detroit is bringing him along. According to Schefter, Best and the Lions have received different opinions from different doctors, but the team does not want to rush him back to action. Best suffered at least two concussions last year, one in the preseason and another against the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 16. The Lions also will be without Mikel Leshoure, who has been suspended the first two games for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. Leshoure returned to practice Wednesday after missing most of training camp to recover from a right hamstring injury.
