PrintThe first serious in-season injury for the Detroit Lions happened during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Linebacker Isaiah Ekejiuba went down with a shoulder injury, and it is severe enough that he will miss the rest of the season, according to Tim Twentyman.

The Lions don't have any linebackers on their practice squad, so it will be interesting to see who they sign to take Ekejiuba's spot on the roster. Ekejiuba made the roster mainly for his special teams skills, so I suppose the Lions don't necessarily have to bring in another linebacker, especially since seven were on the roster to begin with.
While this injury won't really hurt the Lions at linebacker, it's a big blow to their special teams unit. He is a beast on the coverage teams, and they have had their fair share of struggles with him on the field. Hopefully other players will step it up now that Ekejiuba is out for the year.

That's really a shame
He’s going to be 30 next year. I really don’t see him making the team next year even if he rehabs fully. This could end Eke’s career
Prob does but beside ST never made an Impact

My guess could be another Safety or Olineman
Due to fluxy oline play I could see that or maybe activating Randy Phillips

I thought we put Phillips on IR

Breaking News: Reports are coming that it's CB Anthony Madison
"@StuLahti: @ttwentyman who is Ekejiuba being replaced by on the roster?" Reports are CB Anthony Madison. Trying to confirm

http://datsyukiandeke.wordpress.com/
CB Anthony Madison
per Rotoworld
Lions re-signed CB Anthony Madison.
Madison’s phone rings off the hook when a special teams coverage star goes down with an injury. That’s the case in Detroit, where he’ll take the roster spot of LB Isaiah Ekejiuba.
Aight confirmed
Seems solid, anyone if hes a pure ST or can he play CB as well

Probly not affecting it
Madison seems to be a pure ST but who knows

HOpefully nothing serious
The way I see it is that we brang him in just to fill that ST hole, dont see him getting much time at CB now with PHonz back

He is on the practice squad
So they can sign him away as long as they guarantee him a spot on the active roster
Nope hes on the Colts roster
Go check out the Datsyukian Deke , Detroit Red Wings Blog
http://datsyukiandeke.wordpress.com/
Some sites say he is some say he isn't
But I guess I was wrong then regardless doubt we’d see him back

I'd like to see em put the ball through the endzone on kick offs. Reduce the impact his injury will have. Given up too many big returns so far to keep playing with fire in hopes of a great special teams play

Agree Fully
It worked really good in PS but has been an utter faliure so far, work on it some more in practice and try it again in a couple weeks

Lets say three weeks. Hate to see em do anything other than kick away from Devon Hester Monday night against the bears
