u/alex •
Lions' Penei Sewell suffers minor ankle injury during practice but avoids major setback.
Why it matters: Sewell's health is crucial for the Lions as they look to rebuild their offensive line and develop a strong foundation for their quarterback of the future.
What's new: Sewell rolled his ankle during practice but fortunately, the injury is not expected to be serious.
Yes, but: Although the injury is minor, any setback to Sewell's development and playing time could impact the Lions' ability to protect their quarterback and establish an effective running game.
What to watch: The team will likely monitor Sewell's progress closely and provide updates on his availability for upcoming practices and preseason games.
The bottom line: While it's a relief that Sewell's injury is not significant, the Lions need him healthy and ready to contribute in order to maximize their offensive potential.
