Lions TE Sam LaPorta Suffers Ankle Injury Against Cardinals

LaPorta was carted off the field twice during the game, raising concerns about his availability for upcoming matches.

  • Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions' tight end, was injured during a touchdown play in the first half against the Arizona Cardinals.
  • LaPorta was carted to the locker room just before halftime but returned to the field in the second half, only to exit again due to the injury.
  • The injury appears to be related to his ankle, which was caught underneath a defender during the play.
  • LaPorta had two catches for 36 yards before the injury; he was the team's second-leading receiver last season.
  • Multiple Lions players, including linebacker Derrick Barnes and defensive tackle Alim McNeill, also suffered injuries during the game.
