The Detroit Lions’ injury luck might finally be turning around. After weeks of uncertainty surrounding their banged-up secondary, Detroit just got the update they’ve been waiting for — a key cornerback is trending toward returning in time for Monday night’s showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The news comes as a major sigh of relief for head coach Dan Campbell, who’s been dealing with an injury-plagued defensive backfield through the first half of the season. The return of a starting-caliber corner not only brings stability to the defense but also adds some much-needed confidence to a group that’s been stretched thin in recent weeks.
Teammates have already spoken highly of the veteran’s work ethic during rehab, noting that he’s been “locked in” and “itching to get back out there.” And with the Lions facing a dangerous Bucs passing attack led by Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans, his timing couldn’t be better.
Detroit’s defense has held its own despite adversity, but getting one of its top defenders back could make all the difference in this critical Week 7 matchup.
The roar is getting louder in the Motor City — and with reinforcements arriving just in time, the Lions look ready to make another statement under the primetime lights.
