Sam LaPorta injury update: Latest news on Lions TE’s status for Week 11

The Detroit Lions have an injury concern with their budding star tight end, as Sam LaPorta suffered an injury in the third quarter of the Week 10 game against the Houston Texans.

LaPorta is coming off an incredible rookie campaign, but he has gotten off to a slow start in the first half of this season. Through eight games, LaPorta had just 22 catches for 300 yards and two touchdowns.

But LaPorta was having a solid game in Week 10 before suffering the injury, with the Iowa product tallying three receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown. The 66 yards are a season-high for him.

Here’s the latest update on LaPorta.

We’ll update this page when more information is known.
