DENVER — The Detroit Lions' paper-thin secondary took another hit Sunday, one that could impact their plans for 2022.
Starting cornerback Jerry Jacobs, the gem of the Lions' undrafted rookie class, suffered a potentially serious left knee injury on the opening drive of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos and was immediately ruled out for the game.
Jacobs, making his ninth straight start, was injured on the game's fifth play when Lions safety Jalen Elliott rolled into Jacobs' leg while tackling Broncos receiver Tim Patrick.
Lions trainers helped Jacobs off the field.
