Jamal Agnew – Noteworthy – Injury
CB Jamal Agnew, an All-Pro returner, suffered what appeared to be a serious left knee injury late in Sunday’s win over the Packers. Patricia was asked if the injury has ended Agnew’s season. “I’m not going to speculate anything until I get information. I’m not a doctor,” he said. If Agnew is out for extended period of time, the Lions will use wide receivers TJ Jones and Brandon Powell and running back Ameer Abdullah to help in the return game.
*Teez Tabor – Noteworthy – Injury
CB Teez Tabor left the Green Bay game with a groin injury and also didn’t return.
Ezekiel Ansah – Noteworthy – Injury
DE Ezekiel Ansah’s shoulder injury, making him miss four straight games, is causing controversy in Detroit. Some fans and media have suggested that he is “milking” the injury to preserve his body for his next contract. Lions coach Matt Patricia was asked about this perception on Monday during his weekly press conference. “Next question,” Patricia said. “Let’s talk about something real important here.”
Kerryon Johnson – Noteworthy
RB Kerryon Johnson had a 24-yard run to set up a touchdown Sunday against Green Bay, but he stepped awkwardly out of bounds after he was pushed. He limped off the field and his right ankle was attended to by trainers. He received new tape on the ankle but didn’t return.
T.J. Lang – Noteworthy – Injury
RG T.J. Lang was ruled out Sunday against the Packers because of a concussion. He left the previous game against the Dallas Cowboys in the first quarter. It is the second straight season Lang has suffered a concussion. The Pro Bowler worked through a back injury in the first few weeks of the season. He also had a foot injury during training camp.
