After his team’s preseason finale, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell confirmed the good news from earlier this week: offensive tackle Penei Sewell—along with running back Craig Reynolds—avoided a major injury during practice and will be fine moving forward.
“Sewell and Craig will be good,” Campbell said.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear the news is as good for safety Ifeatu Melifonwu. It’s unclear when the fourth-year safety suffered his injury, but he missed both practices this week and did not play in Saturday’s preseason game. Campbell said the timeline for his injury is not clear, but it shouldn’t necessarily be long term.
