Darius Slay injured, heads straight to locker room

The Detroit Lions got off to a hot start defensively on Monday Night Football when Quandre Diggs took a Sam Darnold pass back to the house.

Unfortunately, everything was not good for the Lions in the first quarter as Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay left the game with an injury.

MUST SEE: Justin Verlander posts emotional message for Tigers’ fans after returning home to Detroit

Over the course of 13 seasons, Justin Verlander gave his all each and every time he took the mound with the hopes of leading the Detroit Tigers to a World Series championship. Unfortunately, he and his Tigers’ teammates were not quite able to get the job done and Verlander was eventually traded to the Houston Astros.

Now, JV is coming home.

On Monday night, Verlander will take the mound at Comerica Park dressed as the enemy with the goal of shutting down many of his former teammates.

But before the moment of truth comes, Verlander has a message for Tigers’ fans.

On Sunday, Verlander arrived “home” to Detroit and he took the time to post a message for his former fans.
