Sunday’s loss to the Vikings already left a bitter taste in Detroit’s mouth — but the postgame update on Penei Sewell made things even harder to swallow.
The Lions’ star tackle, who’s been the heart and soul of that offensive line, reportedly left the game dealing with discomfort that had fans holding their breath. While details are still being sorted out, early word suggests the team will be cautious with him moving forward — and that’s never something you want to hear after a divisional defeat.
Detroit’s offense already looked out of sync, and losing Sewell for any stretch of time would be a major blow to both the run game and Jared Goff’s protection. His leadership, consistency, and sheer toughness have been staples of this Lions team since day one.
For a group that prides itself on grit and resilience, this news only adds to the sting of what was already a frustrating night in the Motor City. The hope now? That Sewell’s situation isn’t serious — because if there’s one guy Detroit can’t afford to lose, it’s No. 58.
