The Detroit Lions are just four days away from their season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, and coach Dan Campbell has still not decided how he’ll fill a key vacancy on the offensive line.
Earlier in the week, the Lions placed starting right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai on injured reserve. Vaitai suffered a back injury in the preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers and will miss at least the first four games of the season. Campbell said the outlook, for now, is that he will not need surgery and it shouldn’t be season-ending.
