Sam LaPorta took a huge hit in practice earlier in the week and has missed recent practices with a hip injury after back surgery ended his prior campaign. Clouds are gathering over his Week 1 availability, but Dan Campbell downplayed the severity.

Recurring lower-body issues for Laporta puts his elite Route Participation Rate and top-tier Target Share in Detroit’s high-powered passing offense at some risk. Laporta remains a valuable asset, especially in tight end premium formats given his major role in one of the leagues most prolific offenses.
