Up-and-down game ends with possible Achilles injury for Detroit Lions CB Jeff Okudah

Jeff Okudah started his second NFL season much the same way he ended his first - inconsistent and injured.

Okudah suffered a lower left leg injury in the Detroit Lions' season-opening 41-33 loss to the San Francisco 49ers that head coach Dan Campbell said could be an Achilles tendon injury.

Okudah was hurt with just over 10 minutes left in Sunday's fourth quarter, on a play that happened away from the ball.

He limped off the field under his own power, and after briefly being examined by trainers on the sideline, hobbled 50 or so yards to a medical cart waiting in the tunnel, which transported him to the locker room.
