The Detroit Lions’ injury situation is somehow getting worse and worse. Just when it looked like the Lions may have gotten through the worst of it—getting Levi Onwuzurike, DJ Reader, and Josh Paschal back last week—the injury gods struck them down again. Against the Buffalo Bills, the Lions lost Carlton Davis, Alim McNeill, and Khalil Dorsey to long-term injuries (and likely David Montgomery, as well).
That’s left everyone wondering one question: how? How could this be happening to the Lions at such a ridiculous rate?
Theories are all over the place, and on this week’s Midweek Mailbag podcast, we explore some of the most popular theories among fans and share our thoughts on them.
