Just when everyone thought it was safe to feel great about the Detroit Lions offensive line, calamity falls. Starting right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai will miss at least the first four games on injured reserve with a back injury.
Losing Vaitai, the Lions’ best lineman in the preseason and a veteran who did not allow a single sack in 2021, sure looks like a big loss. But Lions head coach Dan Campbell is confident his team can handle not having “Big V” in the lineup for a little while.
