After the Detroit Lions preseason finale, coach Dan Campbell provided brief updates on center Graham Glasgow and running back Sione Vaki, both of whom were injured on the team\u2019s final training camp practice against the Houston Texans. Thankfully, it appears to be good news for both players.<\/p>\n
Campbell said Glasgow \u201cshould be good,\u201d indicating that the Lions starting center appears to be healthy enough to play in the team\u2019s season opener in two weeks. The news was a little less positive for Vaki, but still overall good.<\/p>\n
\u201cVaki, we\u2019ll see. That could be a tick longer (than Glasgow), but it\u2019s not a major thing,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n
For Glasgow, that\u2019s a big relief, as Detroit doesn\u2019t have a clear backup center. Kingsley Eguakun appears to be the favorite for the job, but he doesn\u2019t have a single game of NFL experience.<\/p>\n
Vaki is still expected to make the team as a huge special team threat in all phases. He appeared to be one of the team\u2019s starting kick returners in practice, alongside linebacker Grant Stuard. In his place, Jacob Saylors took reps in the preseason finale. But with Saylors a bit of a longshot to make the team, the Lions may need another kicker returner in the season opener if Vaki isn\u2019t ready by then. Craig Reynolds could be an option there.<\/p>\n
Campbell also did note that reserve linebacker Ezekiel Turner\u2019s injury in the preseason finale appears to be serious.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, that could be tough. We\u2019re getting tests on that, but that was a significant injury, it looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After the Detroit Lions preseason finale, coach Dan Campbell provided brief updates on center Graham Glasgow and running…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":170097,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[49994,1232,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-170096","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-detroit-lions-injury-report","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115080227364661072","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
