Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta is currently day-to-day due to a shoulder injury sustained during Week 10. Head coach Dan Campbell is hopeful that LaPorta will be able to play against the Jaguars in Week 11. If LaPorta is unable to play, teammates Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra are expected to see increased opportunities. Additionally, LaPorta has returned to limited practice as he recovers from a hyperextended knee and bone bruise suffered in Week 18, indicating he is still expected to play in the upcoming conference title game against the 49ers.
- Sam LaPorta's shoulder injury is being monitored closely.
- Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra could benefit if LaPorta is unable to play.
