Detroit Lions lose Pro Bowl tight end Sam LaPorta to season-ending back surgery—can rookie Isaac TeSlaa step up as a reliable weapon for Jared Goff? Matt Dery examines how LaPorta’s absence shakes up the Lions’ offense, the challenges facing replacement tight ends Brock Wright and Ross Dwelley, and why greater production is needed from TeSlaa moving forward.

 

With the New York Giants starting Jameis Winston at quarterback and key players like Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo sidelined, the Lions are massive favorites at Ford Field. Injury updates, potential impacts on offensive line performance, and the critical return of top corner DJ Reed are all in focus. Plus: What must change in Ben Johnson’s play-calling to put Goff in better positions, and will Detroit’s defense capitalize on Winston’s turnover-prone style? Dive into the latest analysis as the Lions gear up for a crucial stretch. #firstlisten
