Sam LaPorta, the tight end for the Detroit Lions, avoided a serious injury to his ankle against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon.LaPorta had to be wheeled to the locker room after sustaining a horrific ankle injury shortly before halftime of Sunday’s 20–13 victory.
Multiple tests conducted on Sunday and Monday, however, indicated that LaPorta had only sprained her ankle and had not broken any more serious bones. All things considered, this is the finest news LaPorta and the Lions could have.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell told reporters, “He had an ankle sprain.”LaPorta is a crucial component of the Lions’ offense. In the first two and a half games of the 2024 season, he has caught eight passes for 94 yards, although he has yet to score a touchdown.When LaPorta is healthy again, the Lions want to build on his impressive rookie campaign, in which he caught 86 passes for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns and made it to the Pro Bowl as a main component of Detroit is attack.
