Allen Park — The Detroit Lions entered the season with a pair of veteran safeties with the ability to stabilize a young defense. Entering Saturday's crucial game against the Panthers, they will likely have neither.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday it's unlikely DeShon Elliott, who exited Sunday's win over the Jets with a shoulder injury, will be able to play.
"I would say right now, he's looking like he probably won't be able to make it," Campbell said, adding that it's possible the injury becomes a multi-week ordeal.
"It's hard to say," Campbell said.
