Not only did the Lions lose a game they should have at least had a chance to tie last night, but they also lost a key player.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Lions defensive lineman Tyrunn Walker suffered a broken fibula last night, and is having surgery today to repair the damage.
He’ll go on injured reserve, and while he won’t be able to help the Lions this year, he is expected to make a full recovery.
Signed from New Orleans this offseason, Walker was a key contributor to their defensive line rotation, and his absence is just injury to insult for a team sitting 0-4 and having just gotten jobbed by the league.
