While Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell kicked off his post-bye week press conference with the depressing development that Levi Onwuzurike’s season is over following back surgery, it wasn’t all bad news on the injury front. While Campbell was guarded with his optimism, he did say that the team was looking fresher and healthier on Monday after the week off.
“Injury-wise, we’re a little bit better,” Campbell said. “I don’t know how far along we’ll be until Wednesday, but I know everyone feels a little bit better. How much? We’ll see.”
Later, he provided much more optimistic-sounding information when it came to several Lions players, starting with defensive lineman John Cominsky, who led the team with 10 pressures in two games before suffering a wrist injury that required surgery.
