The Detroit Lions' secondary isn’t getting any healthier.
Already losing their top corner Jeff Okudah for the season with an Achilles injury, the Lions were dealt another awful blow during their Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers, as Okudah’s replacement, rookie Ifeatu Melifonwu, also went down with an apparent significant injury.
At his post-game press conference, coach Dan Campbell was asked how bad Melifonwu’s injury was and he responded, “Yeah, it’s a bad one. Looks like he will be out for a little bit”.
Melifonwu started in Okudah’s place and was performing well in the first half.
