After a tough overtime loss to the Seahawks, the Detroit Lions’ training room is expected to be a bustling place this week. Numerous players suffered injuries in the game, and the team is working hard to get them ready for their upcoming match against the Atlanta Falcons.
Among the injuries, the most severe is the ankle injury sustained by second-year edge rusher James Houston. Head coach Dan Campbell expressed his concern, stating that Houston will likely be out for a significant period. This will be a big blow to the Lions’ pass rush, which struggled to make an impact in the game, recording just one sack and one quarterback hit, both by linebacker Alex Anzalone.
Regarding the knee injury suffered by starting right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai in the fourth quarter, Campbell did not have any updates. He mentioned that more information on the severity of the injury will be available on Monday.
Two players, veteran running back David Montgomery and rookie wide receiver Antoine Green, also left the game and did not return. Montgomery sustained a thigh bruise while trying to elude a tackle from Seattle linebacker Jordyn Brooks. Green suffered a concussion. Their absence may impact the team’s offensive capabilities.
During the game, safety Kerby Joseph briefly left the field due to a hip injury but managed to return. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown also experienced cramping but was able to rejoin the game after a short break.
The Lions now have a week to recover, heal, and prepare for their next challenge against the undefeated Atlanta Falcons, who are coming off a win against Green Bay.
