Allen Park — One day after Lions starting safety DeShon Elliott exited because of a shoulder injury, the team still didn't have an update on his long-term prognosis.
"We’re getting studies on him right now," Lions coach Dan Campbell said Monday. "I know he was a little tender, the shoulder hurt a little bit, but we’ll know a lot more this afternoon."
With Elliott out, the team turned to veteran C.J. Moore to replace him against the New York Jets. And if Elliott's injury ends up being a longer-term issue, Campbell said the team will consider both Moore and converted cornerback Ifeatu Melifonwu, the team's third-round pick in 2021.
