Detroit Lions TE Devin Funchess leaves practice with upper-body injury

Detroit Lions' tight end Devin Funchess left Wednesday’s joint practice with the Indianapolis Colts after suffering an apparent upper-body injury.

During a red zone drill, Funchess caught a pass and was immediately hit by a Colts defender, who jarred the ball loose. Upon getting up, Funchess was favoring the right side of his body in obvious pain. He would spend several minutes with a trainer on the sidelines before eventually leaving practice.

Funchess has been trending up in the Lions’ tight end battle after catching four passes for 19 yards and a touchdown in the preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons.
