Lions safety Quandre Diggs reportedly has fractured hand

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions didn't just lose a game on Sunday, but their starting strong safety as well.

Quandre Diggs left the Cowboys loss late with what NFL Network is now reporting is a fractured hand. It's unknown how much time he'll miss, according to the report.

Diggs is in his first full season as a safety, after beginning his career as a slot cornerback. He moved to the back line late last season to replace the injured Tavon Wilson, then played so well -- including picking off three passes -- that the Lions made the move permanent this year, then handed him a three-year extension worth $20.
