Lions Place Isaiah Ekejiuba On Injured Reserve

The 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

My guess could be another Safety or Olineman

Due to fluxy oline play I could see that or maybe activating Randy Phillips

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

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.

Seems solid, anyone if hes a pure ST or can he play CB as well

He is on the practice squad

So they can sign him away as long as they guarantee him a spot on the active roster

This

It's turkey, Lions and Macy's. Any other combination is just ludicrous.
