Dan Campbell gives perfect answer on Lions’ mounting defensive injuries

The Detroit Lions defense is going through some serious attrition right now. Injuries have wreaked havoc on the depth chart, and the team has been forced to hand significant roles to players who have only been in the building for a month.

But Lions coach Dan Campbell doesn’t want any sympathy. After Thursday’s win over the Chicago Bears—in which three defensive starters left and did not return (Josh Paschal, Levi Onwuzurike, and Malcolm Rodriguez)—Campbell was asked if he feels snakebitten with all of the mounting injuries on that side of the ball. In short, it was clear Campbell had no interest in sympathy.
