šŸ”„šŸ¦ Reality hit hard for the Lions when Sam LaPorta went down! His season-ending back injury immediately stalled Detroit’s offense. With 20 touchdowns and elite efficiency before the injury, LaPorta isn’t just a breakout star — he’s the cornerstone of the team. Now the Lions face a major decision: lock him up early to avoid the exploding tight end market, or wait until next year, gambling on his health but potentially paying a higher price.
