GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Tests confirmed that Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has a low ankle sprain, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The initial belief after the Lions' 20-13 win over the Cardinals on Sunday was that he did not suffer a high ankle sprain.

"He had an ankle sprain," Lions head coach Dan Campbell told reporters.

LaPorta caught two passes for 36 yards and injured his ankle while blocking downfield on the Lions' hook-and-ladder touchdown play by running back Jahmyr Gibbs in the second quarter.
