Lions RB Ameer Abdullah reveals he injured Lisfranc in 2016

Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah told "The Carriker Chronicles" podcast that he suffered a Lisfranc injury when he hurt his foot last season, requiring surgery.

The injury, which happened in Week 2 against Tennessee, sent Abdullah to injured reserve and cost him almost his entire season. "I ended up tearing my Lisfranc the second game of the season against the Tennessee Titans, separating my foot, so that was a bummer for me," Abdullah told Carriker. "But I'm shaking back good now. It's helped me understand my body more, so I'm a lot more penciled in on what I need to do as far as recovery, make sure I'm (doing all the) right things for my body to make sure I'm ready for this 2017 season.
