Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) could miss Week 11

Detroit Lions second-year tight end Sam LaPorta sustained an AC joint sprain in Sunday night's come-from-behind victory at Houston and could miss their Week 11 game.

He sustained the shoulder injury after hauling in a 37-yard pass from Jared Goff in the third quarter of the 26-23 win over the Texans. LaPorta left the game and did not return.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said the team will take it "day-to-day" with their starting tight end.

"I don't know how significant it will be. It's not something like -- this is not, 'He's going to be out four weeks,'" Campbell told reporters postgame. "Maybe, he might miss this week. We'll see. He's got a little sprain in here, kinda the AC joint. He tried to go back in and it wasn't quite right. It didn't quite feel right. So we'll get it checked tomorrow, we'll see where it's at, see how significant it is."

LaPorta said the injury was "nothing major" after undergoing an X-ray after the game.

LaPorta, 23, finished with three catches for 66 yards and a touchdown against the Texans. He has 25 catches for 366 yards and three TDs on the season.

The Lions (8-1) host the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-8) on Sunday.
