The Detroit Lions have been a fairly healthy football team this season compared to other teams around the league. On Sunday, the Eagles were decimated with injuries and it showed at times.
Mentioned on NFL Now on @nflnetwork a short while ago Lions DT Mike Daniels has a foot sprain, sources say. He’s getting multiple opinions but it doesn’t look to be anything that will threaten his season.

The Lions now have a couple players to keep an eye on as we head into week four of the regular season.
Mike Daniels suffered a foot injury on Sunday afternoon against the Eagles that took him out of the game. The Lions signed him to a one-year deal after the Green Packers cut him before the preseason.
