Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell provided some injury updates during his Monday press conference, noting that there were really three main injuries suffered against the Seattle Seahawks: a fibula injury to James Houston, a knee injury to guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai and a thigh injury to running back David Montgomery.
Campbell essentially confirmed the report that Houston suffered a broken ankle, calling it a “fibula” injury. Per NFL Network, Houston is expected to miss six to eight weeks while he explores options that may include surgery.
As for Vaitai, Campbell suggested the Lions’ starting right guard will miss some time.
