‘HE’S GOOD’: LATEST PENEI SEWELL FOOT INJURY UPDATE
The Detroit Lions are breathing a sigh of relief following concerns over Penei Sewell’s recent injury scare. On August 21, during a practice session, Sewell, the team’s promising right tackle and former No. 7 overall pick, left the field due to a left foot injury. However, there is encouraging news regarding his condition.
A Justin Rogers from the Detroit Football Network provided a succinct but positive update, stating, “He’s good.” This reassured both the coaching staff and fans, who were anxious about his status.
Several players expressed minimal concern over Sewell’s condition after observing him walk off the field under his own power, assisted by trainers. Speaking to the Detroit Free Press, second-year tackle Colby Sorsdal emphasized the unpredictable nature of the league.
“A guy like Penei, you’re always just worried about him but that’s the reality of this league, too,”

“No one’s God out there and as much as we want Penei to be God, anything can happen at any given time so when your number’s called you just got to go.”
Similarly, teammate Brian Branch, who is also recovering from offseason surgery, downplayed the severity of Sewell’s injury.
“Hopefully it wasn’t nothing major or anything. I don’t think it was, so just prayers up.”
The health of Sewell is critical for the Lions, who are eyeing one of the strongest offensive lines in the NFL. Maintaining a healthy roster is key for the Detroit Lions’ offensive success this season, and the early signs post-injury suggest Sewell will continue to be a significant contributor.
Given the massive impact Sewell has on protecting the quarterback and opening lanes for the running game, this positive update is a relief to the entire Lions community. The team’s offensive line is a cornerstone of their strategy, and having Sewell in top form is integral to their ambitions this season.
In conclusion, while the scare was certainly something to monitor, the Lions and their fans can rest easy knowing Sewell appears to be in good shape. As the team continues to prepare for the upcoming season, all eyes will remain on maintaining the health and performance of its key players.
