Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell confirmed that star offensive lineman Penei Sewell is dealing with a thumb injury. But he also assured it’s not a long-term issue. The injury occurred during the game, but Campbell stated it’s nothing to be overly concerned about.
Campbell also made it clear that he won’t be resting starters for the upcoming game against the 49ers. Despite the injury, he is focused on getting the job done. “To come out to the scene of the crime and get it done, it does give you some satisfaction,” Campbell said, referencing the Lions’ victory over the 49ers, which avenged last season’s NFC Championship game loss.
