Lions' Sam LaPorta Day-to-Day with Sprained Ankle

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta suffered a low ankle sprain during Sunday's win against the Arizona Cardinals, and his status for Week 4 remains uncertain.

  • Sam LaPorta was carted off the field during the second quarter of the Lions' 20-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
  • Tests confirmed that LaPorta suffered a low ankle sprain, a less severe injury than initially feared.
  • LaPorta had a standout rookie season with 86 receptions, 889 yards, and 10 touchdowns, earning a Pro Bowl nod.
  • Despite a slow start this season, LaPorta showed promise in Sunday's game with two catches for 36 yards before his injury.
  • The Lions have an extra day of rest before their Week 4 Monday Night Football matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, giving LaPorta time to recover.
