The Detroit Lions gave fans some bad news on Monday when Dan Campbell informed everyone that safety Ifeatu Melifonwu will be out for longer with a new injury.
“This is going to come up anyway. He just, he had something come up, and he’s not going to be, he won’t be ready for a while. He’s not going to be ready for a while.”
Melifonwu’s 21 day clock was just started on the 5th and he was expected to be activated and return from injured reserve this week after his ankle injury was healed up. Now he has a hand injury.
