The Detroit Lions have had a few black eyes over the years when it comes to injuries and announcements of those injuries. DeAndre Levy came under fire with the whole “will he, won’t he” in 2016, only to find out later he was dealing with a torn meniscus.

And while Jim Caldwell and the rest can tell everyone to just check the injury report, some are making their grievances known with the way the organization handles player injuries.
Compared to a past experience with another team, who wouldn’t allow me anywhere near him. And I had to sit in the stands for a whole quarter wondering if he would be okay.
So much love for the Pats. World class organization.

That would be the wife of former Lion, now New England Patriot OL LaAdrian Waddle. She has a lot more to say on the situation than just the tweet above.
I gained so much even more respect (even more than I already had) for the @Patriots organization today. When my husband went down, multiple people did everything they could to get me to him in the locker room as fast as possible.

You would think an organization like the Patriots would be the gold standard to follow, but apparently Detroit does things their own way, and it’s a way that is starting to bring some negative press to the Ford family.
Oh, she also took the time to throw a little shade at the team itself…
Member when everyone in Detroit was saying the Lions were better than NE bec they had a better record than us in the first three games of the season. 😂

As you can see, the Lions currently sit at the No. 8 spot in the NFC, two places below where they must get to earn a Wild Card berth. So, how can the Lions move up and grab the No. 6 spot before the season ends? It’s quite simple, actually.
