Amik Robertson Leaves Game with Elbow Injury

Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson sustained an elbow injury early in the first quarter of the NFC divisional-round playoff game against the Washington Commanders. The injury occurred during a tackle attempt on Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin, where teammate Jack Campbell inadvertently hit Robertson's arm. Robertson, who has been crucial for the Lions' defense especially after stepping in for the injured Carlton Davis III, was taken to the locker room and is questionable to return. With the Lions already dealing with numerous injuries, including 11 players on injured reserve, Robertson's absence presents a significant challenge for the team. Kindle Vildor has stepped in to replace Robertson as the Lions continue to navigate their injury-ridden roster in hopes of advancing to the NFC championship game. Despite these setbacks, the Lions managed to secure the top seed in the conference, underscoring their resilience this season.
