NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero is reporting that Detroit Lions corner Desmond Trufant avoided a “significant hamstring injury” and could play in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers.
This is a glimpse of good news for the Lions after they were forced to place fellow starting corner Justin Coleman on injured reserve earlier in the day with a significant hamstring injury.
If Trufant is able to play, he would join last week’s starter Amani Oruwariye and potentially third overall pick Jeff Okudah — who is also dealing with his own hamstring injury — in the starting lineup.
