Izien Injury Update Ahead of Season Opener | Detroit Lions News

Detroit Lions’ key defender Christian Izien is battling a groin injury heading into their season opener against the New Orleans Saints, listed as limited in practice. While head coach Dan Campbell previously hinted he might miss the game, the team remains optimistic about his return early in the season. A 26-year-old with over 160 career tackles and 15 starts for Tampa Bay, Izien’s health could be a major factor in Detroit’s defensive performance — especially with a quick turnaround to Buffalo coming up. Fans will have to watch closely as Sunday nears. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
