Sam LaPorta of the Detroit Lions is active versus the Los Angeles Rams.
When the Detroit Lions take the field in their eagerly awaited early playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams, their star rookie tight end will be available. Dan Campbell’s team will have access to Sam LaPorta, who was listed as out with a hyperextended knee earlier in the week.
The second-round pick of Detroit had a slightly different preparation week than he had the entire season. LaPorta told reporters this week, “It’s definitely a little different approach to what I’ve had the previous 17 weeks.” “I’m not exercising as much as I was in the previous few weeks.
Thus, while keeping an eye on the game plan, I’m also working to heal my body, get it back to feeling good, and get ready for the game.” Following his full participation in practice on Friday, there was increased assurance that veteran signal-caller Jared Goff would have access to the former Hawkeyes tight end. As a precaution, he will wear a large knee brace on his left knee. Similar: Jameson Williams Teases the Rams’ Defense, Is the Best Bet “I’m improving in that area. I heard Mac (Alim McNeill) say the same thing.
If you’ve never worn a knee brace before, at first it’s kind of bulky and annoying, but then it clicks,” LaPorta said. It might need to be sprayed with a little WD-40 to relieve the discomfort. Without a doubt, over the past 48 or 72 hours, I’ve grown accustomed to it and will continue to work through it.” LaPorta is looking forward to a fun atmosphere at Ford Field, much like a lot of the younger players on the team.
It’s excellent. It’s Detroit’s first time hosting a playoff game in thirty years,” LaPorta remarked. “I’m sure the fans will be enthused. We can’t wait to take this thing further and take advantage of another opportunity to play.” The roster of inactive players for Detroit’s Wild Card playoff game against Los Angeles has been updated.
