KEY QUESTIONS: How will Lions handle punting situation?
New challenges pop up every week for teams in the NFL, and they simply have to find a way adjust on the fly.
That’s certainly the case in Detroit this week when it comes to their punter situation. Sam Martin is on NFI (non-football injury) for the first six weeks of the season, and now Kasey Redfern has suffered a significant knee injury that’s expected to sideline him the rest of the year.
That means the Lions are on punter No. 3 for the season just one week into the new year. Expect the team to work out a number of punters this week and have one signed before practice begins Wednesday.
What are the unique challenges of bringing in a punter Week 2?
