We are getting a better idea of just how banged up some of the Lions’ leading players are heading into Sunday’s NFC championship game against the San Francisco 49ers.
In his final press conference before Sunday’s game, Lions head coach Dan Campbell told reporters that the tight end continues to improve and will continue to push toward playing.
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta is optimistic he will be healthy enough to play against the Los Angeles Rams in an NFC wild-card game, a week after injuring his left knee. “I got some reps today at practice," LaPorta said Thursday. The rookie's left leg was bent awkwardly after he caught a pass and was tackled by Minnesota safety Josh Metellus late in the first half Sunday of a win over the Vikings.
yeah, the matthew stafford bowl, no doubt. also, let s remember, it reunites jared goff with the rams head coach, sean mcvay, who he took him to the super bowl and decided goff wasn t good enough and jettisoned him for stafford. i worry about the karma for your beloved lions, joe. in a meaningful game, their superstar tight end hurt his knee. laporta, yeah. may not be able to play this weekend, and he is a difference maker. that d be a shame if he misses it. yeah, that should be a fun one. to pablo s point, it s been a pretty mediocre and somewhat disappointing nfl season. no doubt. i think we all agree. horrible. it s been not great. hope the playoffs redeem it. lousy season it s been. it s fun watching and it s fun every saturday watching red zone, but, man, some genuinely uninspiring teams. really quickly, pablo, before i let you go, and before i think alex may just take us to break
Head coach Dan Campbell says there is an “outside shot” that tight end Sam LaPorta plays despite suffering a knee injury in Sunday’s 30-20 win over Minnesota.
