The Detroit Lions suffered several unfortunate injuries in Sunday’s 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills, forcing several of those players to miss the remainder of the season.

It would be difficult for any head coach to hear all this injury news, especially at this point in the season, but of course Lions coach Dan Campbell has found a way to turn the negatives into positives.

He acknowledges that the Lions can’t deal with these injuries if they want to make a big breakthrough in the playoffs. The team has to trust the replacement players they have on the roster.

“We recognize the fact that we lost players, we lost really good players, but nobody cares,” Campbell said. “I mean, no one cares and no one is going to give us a pass or give us an asterisk next to your record. So that means some people are going to have an incredible opportunity. Because of what happened, now that means, man, you.” If you’re a guy that’s in the vet department, or you’re a young player, or you’re someone that’s itching to get a chance, you you will get them straight away.

“So that’s a pretty cool thing, that’s a pretty inspiring thing. What are you going to do with it? And it’s up to us to give them a plan for where they can be successful. I’ve said it before: We play with three units. Here we will do what we have to do to win a game. The only thing that matters is that from now on you only have one point more than your opponent.

The four Lions players who received unfortunate injury news on Monday include running back David Montgomery with a torn ACL, defensive lineman Alim McNeill with a torn ACL, cornerback Carlton Davis III with a broken jaw and cornerback Khalil Dorsey with an ankle injury. Davis is the only player on this list who likely has a chance to return in the postseason.

The 12-2 Lions have already secured a spot in the playoffs and are therefore hoping for another good playoff success. Detroit faces the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
