WEST BLOOMFIELD -- Detroit Lions running back Joique Bell hit an important milestone in his recovery from a knee injury, getting clearance to run at full speed two weeks after the conclusion of the team's mandatory minicamp last month.

Working with approximately 200 local youths at an instructional camp Tuesday, Bell said he'll report to training camp a few days before most of his teammates to test out his body.

"I'm feeling 100 percent," Bell said. "I'm feeling great."

Although he's been in attendance, the knee injury has sidelined Bell for the early portions of Detroit's offseason program. That hasn't stopped him from staying in shape. He's been working out at Jay Glazer's Unbreakable Performance Center in West Hollywood, Calif., for a second consecutive offseason.

"It's been great so far," Bell said. "They're really monitoring, as far as meal plan, cardio, explosiveness and stamina. We're working on a variety of different things, switching it up, doing MMA (training), working out just about every muscle in the body, which is very tiring.

"We're really getting after it, really attacking my body without putting a lot of stress on my joints."

While out in California, Bell also spent some time with teammate Reggie Bush. Bell even enrolled his 8-year-old son Jordan in Bush's youth camp in San Diego.

"I got him out there to teach him a few techniques," Bell said. "Letting him see what his dad does during the offseason, letting him see the work. He really hasn't been able grasp what I have to do."

Bell, 27, is coming off his most productive professional season. He gained 650 yards on the ground and added another 547 in the passing game, while scoring eight touchdowns. The Lions rewarded him with a three-year, $9.3 million contract.
