Detroit Lions lose two players for the season during the first preseason game.
Kerry Hyder tore his Achilles on the second series of the game. He was a projected starter at DE. He led the team in sacks, hit and tackles for loss in 2016. With Ansah, Washington, and Bryant all hurt this is a major blow to the Lions defense.
Here is a tribute:
 |
| Hyder had 8 sacks, 11TFL and 11 hurries in 2016. |
 |
| 17 games 2 starts 36 tackles 8 sacks |
Brandon Copeland tore his pec in the third quarter of the game. Copeland was a valuable back up at DE and Sam Linebacker. He was a core special teams player. His injury hurts the Lions depth and coverage units.
Here is a tribute:
 |
| 32 games 1 start 30 tackles 0.5 sacks |
Good luck Brandon
