Allen Park — In March, the day DJ Chark signed with the Detroit Lions, he was thrilled about the prospect of facing his former team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, later in the year. But time and circumstances have altered Chark's perspective.
It's not that he's not excited to play this Sunday, but the reasons are different. Instead of seeing an opportunity to show his former team he's in a better place, somewhere that appreciates him, he's simply happy to be healthy enough to suit up for the matchup.
"I’ve missed six games, so at this point, every game is circled on the calendar," Chark explained.
