Lions fans are familiar with the phrase, popularized by former Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell, in response to most injury-related questions. Those hoping for more transparency from Matt Patricia, Caldwell’s replacement, are sure to be disappointed.
On Wednesday, rookie fullback Nick Bawden suffered a leg injury during a special teams portion of the minicamp practice. Hours later, the NFL Network reported the team feared Bawden had torn his ACL.
Before Thursday’s practice, Patricia was asked if there was an update on Bawden. In addition to declining to offer one, the coach also laid out a broader philosophy on injury updates.
