The Detroit Lions received more injury news that affects their offense on Thursday, as starting tight end Sam LaPorta didn't participate in Thursday's joint practice with the Miami Dolphins. Lions coach Dan Campbell didn't reveal what type of injury he suffered, leaving it undisclosed, but did mention that the tight end will miss a few days.
"LaPorta will be down. It's not major, but he will miss a little bit of time here," Campbell said.
It's still unclear if LaPorta will see any action in the preseason for the Lions, regardless of his injury.
