Ugh. And ugly fact of life in this meat grinding business. Does it make us bad people if we just generically wish that all NFL teams have exactly the same injury luck that the Lions do?
Justin, sorry if you have done this already, but I would love an in-depth look at ACL, Achilles, and hamstrings from the standpoint of what a player and team can do, if anything, to strengthen, stretch, warm-up, etc. Are they particularly prevalent very early in football training, like OTAs or early in training camp? Not just Law and Levi last year, but many teams, like Teddy in MN. It seems like most of the Achilles across the league are non-contact like Branch. Accelerating, stopping, cutting at full speed has to be hard on tendons, muscles, and ligaments, especially for people who move significantly faster than the rest of us.
Let's hope this isn't the start of another overwhelming number of injuries. Not that it really matters, but was there any mention of which drill he was injured performing, or whether or not it occurred on turf or grass?
Breaking the China already.Between Brad drafting glass and Campbell being a bull in a China shop it’s no wonder the Lions are top or near the top in injuries every year.
Rough break. Thanks JR!
there goes my pick for kick returner this year. injuries suck but injuries happen. next come the preseason hammies...

We just can’t have nice things

Terrible, but if the Lions are insulated anywhere, it's at receiver and returner.
Looks look at the positive. The Lions are still in the running for the SB. In 2027.
Deebo time

missed your comment on Law's fragility when he got picked, can you send a link?

I think you got lost, Reddit is that way.
"NON-CONTACT"
Great, the China just fell off the shelf.
Hate that for Law 😭
