DETROIT — The Lions will likely be lacking one in all their high offensive weapons once they return residence to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Detroit dominated out Professional Bowl tight finish Sam LaPorta on Friday due to a shoulder damage. He hasn’t practiced all week.
Lions coach Dan Campbell described the damage as a sprained AC joint. LaPorta suffered it through the second half of final weekend’s 26-23 street win in opposition to the Houston Texans and was thought-about day-to-day.
“We do not really feel like that is one thing like, ‘Oh, man, this going to be a protracted, nagging damage.’ I feel we’ll get by it,” Campbell mentioned Monday.
LaPorta has the Lions’ third-most receiving yards (366) to go along with 25 receptions and three touchdowns in his second NFL season. He has 111 profession receptions with a chance to surpass Keith Jackson (144) for probably the most by a decent finish in his first two seasons.
