Detroit Lions star rookie tight end Sam LaPorta has an “outside shot” to play in the Lions-Rams playoff showdown on Sunday night, according to Lions coach Dan Campbell.
Campbell said Monday that they’ll know more in 48 hours, but said the injury is more like days, not weeks, which is great news for the Lions offense.
