When Detroit Lions returner/cornerback Jamal Agnew tumbled into the endzone during the team’s Week 5 game against the Green Bay Packers, the outlook was pretty grim. Agnew was clearly in a ton of pain on the field, initial reports were concerned about a torn ACL and the Lions eventually placed Agnew on injured reserve.
But on Monday in the locker room, Agnew was much cheerier. With a big smile on his face, the second-year player beamed about his current physical state, which could mean a return to the roster if the Lions choose to designate him to return from IR.
