Tight end Sam LaPorta was placed on injured reserve by the Detroit Lions today with a back injury. He’ll now miss at least the next four games. LaPorta has been playing well this year with 40 receptions for 489 yards and three touchdowns.

Brock Wright will see more usage but is unlikely to make much of an impact, the beneficiary of LaPorta headed to IR is most likely Jameson Williams. Williams is coming off a big game where he went for 119 yards and a score against the Washington Commanders.
