LaPorta Progressing, Lions Face Seahawks Monday

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta, who sprained his ankle during last Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals, has been progressing in his recovery. After missing practice on Thursday, LaPorta was a full participant in practice on Friday, indicating a quick recovery. LaPorta's participation is crucial as the Lions face the Seattle Seahawks on Monday. Other injuries for the Lions include safety Brian Branch, defensive tackle Alim McNeill, Derrick Barnes, Marcus Davenport, and center Frank Ragnow, all of whom have varying statuses. At 2-1, the Lions hope to have LaPorta and other key players healthy for the challenging game against the undefeated Seahawks.
