A blow for Detroit, but they did draft Tyleik Williams so it won't be as bad as it could have been.

I agree. Williams is a nose. Missing that pass rush is not a good start for that Lions team. I believe they had a 2 year window to truly make a run at the ring. I think they will be tough, but starting to think the SB dream is dying.


Its been interesting reading from Lions' players this offseason....I sense high frustration that they've come up short the last 2 seasons. I think they've got a bit of a grind hangover and they really need to motivate themselves to hit it hard again to try and get to the Superbowl. I think their organization and fans printed out Superbowl tickets mentally the past 2 years and its taken a little bit of a toll. JMO, I think if teams punch them in the mouth a bit this season they might have less fight in them. What Washington did to them at home last year in the playoffs was shocking and raw to them and their fans.

And to others in this thread that have said Campbell is downplaying this injury, I totally agree.
