The Detroit Lions might be breathing a sigh of relief — but only slightly. After losing a key starter on the offensive line during their matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, head coach Dan Campbell shared that while the injury is serious, there’s still hope the player’s season isn’t over.
Reports indicate that the injured guard — who has been a vital part of Detroit’s protection unit — will miss significant time, though the team is not ruling out a late-season return. Campbell described the situation as “tough,” admitting it’s going to take patience and rehab before the veteran can get back on the field.
The loss is a major one for a Lions team built around physical play and dominance up front. With the offensive line being one of Detroit’s biggest strengths this season, the next-man-up mentality will be tested. Expect players like Graham Glasgow and Colby Sorsdal to step in and fill the gap while the starter recovers.
Despite the setback, the Lions remain confident in their depth and resilience. As Campbell put it, “We’ve got guys who can step up — and they will.” Still, fans can’t help but hope the timeline shortens and that the Lions’ offensive anchor returns sooner rather than later.
