Detroit Lions’ season opener hangs in the balance as star tight end Sam LaPorta faces a new hip issue, forcing him out of practice and leaving coach Dan Campbell uncertain about his availability. LaPorta’s return is critical after missing the last eight games last season due to back surgery, and QB Jared Goff has been vocal about his importance. Meanwhile, reserve guard Ben Bartch is sidelined with a concussion, jeopardizing his shot at the starting left guard spot, while rookie linebacker Jimmy Rolder’s hamstring injury keeps him sidelined — though Campbell hints Rolder could be ready early in the season. Despite the setbacks, the team remains focused on getting key players back on the field.
