Injury Update: The Detroit Lions may finally be catching a break on the injury front.
Following the tough loss to the Los Angeles Rams, head coach Dan Campbell offered a hopeful update on cornerback Amik Robertson, signaling that the injury may not be as serious as initially feared. While Campbell stopped short of guaranteeing a return timeline, his tone suggested optimism — something Lions fans haven’t heard often lately.
Robertson has quietly become an important piece of Detroit’s secondary, especially with the team battling injuries and inconsistency on the defensive side of the ball. His physical style, toughness in coverage, and willingness to compete snap after snap have earned him trust within the coaching staff. Losing him for an extended stretch would have been another major blow for a defense already under pressure.
Campbell acknowledged that Robertson is still being evaluated but emphasized that early signs are encouraging. If the cornerback can return sooner rather than later, it would give Detroit much-needed flexibility as they prepare for a critical stretch of games that could decide their playoff fate.
With postseason hopes hanging in the balance, even small bits of positive injury news feel massive. For the Lions, getting Amik Robertson back healthy could help stabilize a secondary that’s been tested week after week.
Detroit knows the margin for error is thin — and every potential return matters from here on out.
