- While we’ve all been
losing our mindssemi-panicking about Matthew Stafford and his finger injury, not much has been said about Ezekiel Ansah. Ansah left Sunday’s game against the Bears with a shoulder injury. He did eventually return near the end of the contest, but his status post-game was unknown. However, according to Adam Caplan—who has been very accurate with his reporting this season—the Lions and their fans likely don’t have much to worry about:
On #Lions DE Ziggy Ansah (shoulder), source said he suffered a "stinger." He was limited to just 26 snaps during Sunday's win over #Bears.
