INJURY NEWS: Detroit Lions Key Player Grapples with Harsh Realities Following a Significant Injury.
The Detroit Lions had a strong win against the Arizona Cardinals in Week Three, bringing their season record to 2-1. However, the game was tough on the team as star tight end Sam LaPorta had to leave the field due to an ankle injury, and pass rusher Marcus Davenport suffered an elbow injury.
LaPorta got hurt while blocking during a trick play but seems to be okay. He is expected to be out for just a short time with a minor ankle sprain. Unfortunately, Davenport’s injury is worse; he will be out for the rest of the season.
Additionally, Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow also got hurt during the game, suffering a partially torn pectoral muscle. Thankfully, his injury is not expected to end his season, and he is considered week-to-week for recovery.
Ragnow was drafted 20th overall in 2018 and has been a key player for the Lions since then, making three Pro Bowls and being named a second-team All-Pro twice.
Last season, the Lions made the playoffs for the first time in seven years, reaching the NFC Championship game but losing to the San Francisco 49ers 34-31.
