Sam LaPorta Won't Return Sunday

Sam LaPorta Won't Return Sunday

11 months ago

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (knee) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He initially exited during the second quarter and was carted to the locker room. There is concern for a serious knee injury here, though additional testing will be required before the Lions provide an official diagnosis. LaPorta's foot appeared to snag the ground while he was being tackled, which led to his knee hyperextending. With both LaPorta and Brock Wright (hip) sidelined, the Lions will turn to James Mitchell as their top tight end.
