Dan Campbell ‘Hopeful’ Amik Robertson Plays This Week After Hand MRI

Detroit's injury-hit secondary has strained a defense giving up big totals.

Overview

  • Robertson left late in the fourth quarter of the 41-34 loss to the Rams with a hand or wrist injury that occurred as he tried to punch the ball out on Colby Parkinson’s touchdown.
  • Campbell said Robertson underwent an MRI and that his status for this week will hinge on how he handles practice in the next couple of days, with the possibility he plays through the issue.
  • The Lions finished the game without safeties Kerby Joseph, Brian Branch and Thomas Harper and were already missing starting corner Terrion Arnold after season-ending surgery.
  • Detroit’s defense has surrendered 1,812 yards and 129 points across its last four games, as Matthew Stafford threw for 368 yards and Puka Nacua had 181 receiving yards on Sunday.
  • Robertson has rotated between slot and outside and has been frequently targeted, with PFF charting 50 receptions allowed on 80 targets entering the Rams game, highlighting thin cornerback depth.
