Detroit Lions Week 1 injury update: What we know about Ezekiel Ansah Matthew Stafford Jersey , T.J. Lang, Matthew Stafford Monday night wasn’t just a disaster in terms of performance on the field for the Detroit Lions. They also dealt with injuries to some key players. Matthew Stafford, Ezekiel Ansah, T.J. Lang and Darius Slay all missed time against the New York Jets. While we won’t know the full status of any of these players until the first injury report of the week (expected Wednesday), here’s what we know about each of their statuses as of Monday night.Matthew StaffordStafford suffered two injuries. First, his leg got stepped on by Taylor Decker, leaving him with very limited mobility for a single drive. However, he didn’t miss any time because of the injury and he looked much more comfortable on his leg as the game went on.But not much later, Stafford took a brutal hit simultaneously low and to his midsection. Stafford stayed down for some time after the play, and ended up missing a couple plays.Stafford would end up coming back in, but was pulled when the game was well out of hand.Where things stand now: It looks like Stafford is relatively fine. He’s not expected to miss any time, and he told reporters after the game, “I’ll be okay.”UPDATE: Stafford gave more details on the radio Tuesday Darius Slay Jersey , and it seems like he’ll be just fine: Ezekiel AnsahAfter just 19 defensive snaps, Ansah left the game with a shoulder injury. He went into the locker room, and it didn’t appear he ever returned to the field. Though he was first listed as questionable to return with the shoulder injury, he was eventually downgraded to out. Where things stand now: After the game, head coach Matt Patricia could not give an update on Ansah’s condition.“We’ve got to go in there and take a look at it and see what’s going on,” Patricia said. We’ll hopefully know more early this week.T.J. LangIf you skipped out on the game early, you probably didn’t even know T.J. Lang suffered an injury. He missed just one offensive snap for the game (the final kneel down), but the team officially announced that he was questionable to return with a back injury. Where things stand now: We don’t know, but this is obviously a very concerning injury. Not only did Lang miss the entire preseason, but he also missed time last season with a back injury. There’s no word on whether this is the same kind of back injury, but for a player that has struggled with staying healthy since landing in Detroit, this isn’t a great start to the season.Darius SlaySlay took a friendly-fire hit to the head when Ansah landed on him in the first quarter of the game. Though it looked bad at the time, the team evaluated him for a concussion Marvin Jones Jersey , and he was cleared. He was in for the very next defensive drive. Where things stand now: Head injuries are always tricky, and we’ve seen symptoms show up hours or even days after a player suffers a concussion, so Slay isn’t necessarily clear from the injury. However, he sent out an optimistic tweet after the game: It’s hard to feel better or worse about the Detroit Lions after a week they didn’t even play. While the team left us on a good note, picking up a big divisional win over the Packers last week, we were left wanting more.But Week 6 provided some context to the Lions’ performance through five games while also changing the dynamics of the division. Check out how three oBut Week 6 did provide plenty of context to the Lions’ performance through five games, and also changed the dynamics of their division. Three of the Lions’ first five opponents were in action on Sunday, and all three (Jets, Patriots, Cowboys) all won. The final two teams—Packers and 49ers—will play on Monday night, meaning (unless there’s a tie) that four of the Lions’ first five opponents will win in Week 6. Additionally, the NFC North leading Chicago Bears lost a wild overtime game against the Dolphins, while the Vikings edged the Cardinals in a game that remained fairly close into the fourth quarter. So while the Lions didn’t play this week Kerryon Johnson Jersey , the league around them evolved. Today’s Question of the Day is: Do you feel better, worse or the same about the Lions after the bye week?My answer: A little better. Obviously, my opinion of the Lions remains unchanged. Even the fact that their schedule is starting to look like it was a little tougher to start than originally believed, it doesn’t change the fact that Detroit looked pretty bad in a couple of those games.But looking around the league, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that there are a ton of mediocre teams. All but three teams have at least two losses already, and only five teams have failed to notch their second win. This league is wide open right now, and who’s playing in January will not be determined how teams look right now, it’ll be determined by how they’re playing in November and December. Every team has room for drastic improvement, and the teams that accomplish that before it’s too late are the teams that we’ll be seeing in the postseason. I don’t know enough about this coaching staff to know whether they’re the kind of people who can fix a big problem—like, let’s say a run defense—but I’m definitely not counting them out right now.Your turn.
