The good news keeps coming on the Penei Sewell injury front. The Lions All-Pro right tackle appears little worse for the wear from his foot injury suffered in Wednesday’s practice.
After a report later on Wednesday that Sewell was “good”, there is even more clarity on what the definition of “good” is for the big man. Eric Woodyard of ESPN reports that Sewll “suffered a rolled ankle” and has “no issues” beyond it. Woodyard notes that Sewll had an MRI already.
It’s definitely a welcome note and sigh of relief. Sewell was not expected to play at all in Saturday’s preseason finale even before the injury. Second-year OT Colby Sorsdal is expected to play significantly in Sewell’s spot against the Steelers, as he has in the first two preseason contests.
Good news in Detroit. #Lions All-Pro OT Penei Sewell suffered a rolled ankle, a source told ESPN. No issues.
He exited yesterday’s practice early and received an MRI while being evaluated for a foot injury, but is fine.
