Lions’ K Austin Siebert, WR Quintez Cephus likely out for year; Swift may be ‘a week away’

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell addressed some of the team’s long-term injuries on Friday, giving some key updates on players we haven’t seen take the field for quite some time.

There was a report from Kicker Central that Lions kicker Austin Seibert had undergone surgery and was out indefinitely. Campbell confirmed the report and added that Seibert will not be returning to play this season.

“No he won’t be (returning),” Campbell said. “He’ll be done for this year.”

The Lions have since signed rookie kicker Riley Patterson to the 53-man roster and added Aldrick Rosas to the practice squad.
