The Detroit Lions are already dealing with injury concerns early in the season, and things just got a little more worrisome. A key defensive player was spotted with his arm in a sling, raising questions about his availability moving forward.
To make matters tougher, three other starters remain limited in practice as they work through lingering issues. While the Lions have shown resiliency in the past when it comes to handling injuries, the timing is less than ideal with a huge matchup on the horizon.
Head coach Dan Campbell and his staff haven’t revealed the full extent of the latest injury, but all eyes will be on the next round of practice reports. If the defender in question is forced to miss time, Detroit’s depth will once again be tested.
For now, Lions fans will be hoping this is just a precautionary measure — because losing another defensive starter could tilt the balance in a critical stretch of the season.
