Knee injury of Lions’ Stephen Tulloch worse than originally believed?

Found May 23, 2012 on The Football Fan Spot: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Stephen Tulloch,  Jim Schwartz
TEAMS: Detroit Lions
Ff
Stephen Tulloch is one of the best middle linebackers in the league, especially in Detroit’s wide nine scheme, and was paid accordingly this offseason, signing a 5 year, 25 million dollar deal. However, there are now injury concerns with Tulloch. Tulloch has yet to practice in OTAs with a knee injury and while it was originally viewed as minor, Head Coach Jim Schwartz now says he’ll miss the rest of OTAs and possibly June minicamps with knee tendinitis. Tulloch insists his injury is minor, but we may differ in the definition of minor as he recently had an injection into the knee and reportedly cannot put any weight on it. He should be fine for Training Camp and onward, but these types of things can linger so it’s something to keep an eye on.

2 game suspension for Mikel Leshoure?

After missing all of last season with injury, Mikel Leshoure got arrested twice this offseason in marijuana related incidents.

The Lions have used picks in the first 2 rounds on running backs in their last two drafts prior to this year, as well as a 3rd round pick on a running back in 2008, yet they keep having to turn to the mediocre and aging Maurice Morris down the stretch to get significant carries for them. This is because Jahvid Best, a 1st rounder in 2010, Mikel Leshoure, a 2nd rounder in 2011, and...

Detroit Lions Dirty? Perception is Reality

Is Titus Young’s ‘suckerpunch’ suspension worthy?
