Sam LaPorta Misses Second Practice, Putting Lions’ Week 11 Tight End Depth in Question

A Friday update from Dan Campbell is expected to clarify the tight end outlook.

Overview

  • LaPorta was listed with a back injury and did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, leaving his availability for Sunday night uncertain.
  • Detroit added veteran tight end Anthony Firkser to the practice squad earlier this week as immediate depth.
  • Brock Wright is dealing with an ankle issue after missing Wednesday’s session and returning as a limited participant on Thursday.
  • Cornerback Amik Robertson was added to the injury report with a hamstring and practiced in a limited capacity, while Terrion Arnold remains in concussion protocol.
  • Aidan Hutchinson and Graham Glasgow returned to full participation, and the Lions will finalize their injury report after Friday’s practice for the matchup with the Eagles.
