Jeff Okudah's season is over, and the No. 3 pick of last year's draft has another major obstacle to overcome if he ever is going to live up to his lofty draft status.
Okudah suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in the Detroit Lions' season-opening 41-33 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, NFL Network reported.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said that diagnosis was a possibility after Okudah suffered an injury with just over 10 minutes left in Sunday's fourth quarter, on a play that happened away from the ball.
Okudah limped off the field with help from trainers, and after briefly having the back of his ankle examined on the sideline, hobbled 50 or so yards to a medical cart waiting in the tunnel, which transported him to the locker room.
