Detroit Lions Kicker Michael Badgley Out for Season with Torn Hamstring

Badgley's injury leaves the Lions with only one healthy kicker as they look to fill the void before the 2024 season.

Michael Badgley sustained a torn hamstring during practice preparations, requiring surgery.
Head coach Dan Campbell expressed disappointment, noting Badgley's strong spring performance.
Jake Bates, recently signed from the UFL, is currently the only healthy kicker on the roster.
The Lions are considering free agents and other options to ensure depth at the kicker position.
Badgley made all his field goal attempts in the 2023 regular season and playoffs.
