The Detroit Lions suffered some major injuries during their first preseason game last week. It resulted in two players being placed on the Injured Reserve list, wide receiver Jermaine Kearse and defensive tackle Darius Kilgo.
Kearse spent his first five seasons as a member of the Seattle Seahawks under offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. The two helped the Seahawks win their first Super Bowl championship in 2013. So when Bevell was hired this offseason to become the offensive coordinator in Detroit, a reunion with the free-agent wide receiver made sense.
Unfortunately, Kearse suffered a broken leg in his preseason debut against the New England Patriots last week, leaving a void at his position.
