Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell gave fans a sobering update regarding the status of tight end Sam LaPorta as the team prepares for Week 12. After sustaining an injury that limited his practice time over the past few weeks, LaPorta’s return remains uncertain, and Campbell didn’t sugarcoat the situation.
“We’re monitoring him closely,” Campbell explained. “Sam’s a fighter, but we can’t rush him back. We want him 100% ready to contribute, and right now, that’s still a work in progress.”
LaPorta has been a critical weapon in the Lions’ passing attack, and his potential absence could force Detroit to adjust its offensive game plan against the Giants. Fans are hoping for a swift recovery, but Campbell’s update suggests caution will be the priority.
Despite the setback, Campbell stressed that the team remains focused and confident in its depth, making sure the Lions can compete even if key players miss time. Lions Nation will be watching closely as the injury situation develops, hoping for a positive turn before Sunday’s showdown at Ford Field.
