Lions' Amik Robertson Undergoes Surgery After Playoff Injury Against Commanders
The Detroit cornerback suffered a broken arm early in the game, adding to the team's extensive list of defensive injuries this season.
- Amik Robertson broke his arm during the Lions' second defensive snap in their playoff loss to the Washington Commanders, requiring surgery.
- The injury occurred when teammate Jack Campbell accidentally collided with Robertson as he tackled Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin.
- Robertson, who had been a key defensive player this season, is expected to recover in time for offseason workouts, according to reports.
- The Lions' defense, already severely depleted by injuries to multiple starters, struggled to contain the Commanders' offense, allowing 481 yards and 45 points.
- Robertson's absence left the Lions' secondary further strained, forcing reserve players like Kindle Vildor and practice squad call-ups into action.
