Sam LaPorta Ruled Out for Lions-Jaguars Game

The Detroit Lions will be without Pro Bowl tight end Sam LaPorta for their Week 11 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a shoulder injury sustained during last week's victory over the Houston Texans. LaPorta did not practice all week and has been ruled out, leading to expectations that Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra will fill the tight end roles in his absence. Meanwhile, the Jaguars will also miss linebacker Yasir Abdullah, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Additionally, quarterback Trevor Lawrence and running back Tank Bigsby have been ruled out, while other players remain questionable for Jacksonville. The matchup is set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at Ford Field.
