Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced Thursday that tight end Sam LaPorta will “miss a little bit of time” due to a minor injury, according to Richard Silva of The Detroit News.
While Campbell didn’t provide an exact timetable, his comments suggest the issue isn’t considered serious. LaPorta was a breakout star as a rookie in 2023, quickly emerging as one of Jared Goff’s top targets and a focal point of the Lions’ offense.
The team will likely proceed with caution to ensure he’s fully healthy before returning to action, especially with the regular season still weeks away.
