Sam LaPorta (back) undergoes surgery, unlikely to return in 2025

Sam LaPorta (knee) has undergone surgery on his back, and according to HC Dan Campbell is highly unlikely to return this season.

Fantasy Impact

LaPorta's absence was felt when the Lions faced the Eagles, and they are now likely without him for the rest of the year. It's a tough break for the Lions, who were looking to get back on track and ramp up for he playoffs, but they will just have to make do with Brock Wright and their other weapons, which are many, to be fair.
