DETROIT (AP) — In a devastating turn of events during the NFL playoffs, Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson suffered a serious elbow injury on the Washington Commanders' second snap. The injury occurred as Robertson attempted to tackle wide receiver Terry McLaurin, which led to an impactful collision with his teammate, Jack Campbell, resulting in further damage to his elbow.
Robertson, visibly shaken, walked off the field in tears and was later taken to a Detroit-area hospital for evaluation after initially managing to leave under his own power. His performance prior had showcased his talent, notably in a previous game where he effectively held Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings at bay. Following the injury, the Lions faced yet another challenge in their already thin defensive lineup as they tried to contain rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, now down a critical player.
The team reported that while Robertson was ruled questionable for a return, he was ultimately announced as out for the game. With Robertson sidelined, Kindle Vildor was called to step up in the lineup. This injury highlights the ongoing struggles that the Lions face, having already contended with numerous injuries leading into the playoffs.
