Ziggy Ansah Won't Return vs. Cardinals After Suffering Shoulder Injury

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah suffered a shoulder injury Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, Tim Twentyman of the team's official website reported.

Making matters worse, Twentyman also reported Da'Shawn Hand has a knee injury, leaving the Lions without their two best defensive ends.

Ansah was durable early in his career, although the Lions placed him on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury prior to the 2018 campaign. Still, the defensive end played at least 13 games in each of his first five seasons in the league since the Lions drafted him fifth overall in 2013.
