Allen Park — Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell noted after Sunday's game against Seattle that linebacker James Houston would likely be out "a little while" with the ankle injury he suffered during the contest. According to an NFL Network report Monday morning, Houston has a fractured ankle that could sideline him up to two months.
That injury will be a blow to Detroit's pass rush, which has struggled to get to the quarterback through the first two games of the season, recording just one sack. Houston, a sixth-round draft pick in 2022, racked up 8.0 sacks in seven games as a rookie.
