2023 Injury Thread

What happened to AJB?

Knee injury.
Metlife Stadium.

News at 6pm.

Look severe?

Walked to the locker room unassisted. Turf needs to go.

[Lumps]

Jalen Hurts now looks like either broken middle finger on throwing hand. Or dislocated.

[mild]

That did not look good for Laporta in a (probably) meaningless Week 18 game.

Prayers up for the big lad. Hopefully not as grim as it looked.

Update on LaPorta from Rapoport:

#Lions coach Dan Campbell tells reporters that the potentially serious knee injury suffered by Pro Bowl TE Sam LaPorta “is not as bad as it looked, but it's not good news.” … Agent Jack Bechta says they won’t know anything until the MRI is completed.

Quite vague... requires us to know how bad DC thought it looked.

If I had to guess just based on that: definitely out for next weeks playoff, maybe the whole playoffs, but perhaps the ligament is intact?

Hopefully he sits the rest of the year.
