Is there any update on safety DeShon Elliott‘s injury?
Elliott left the game in the third quarter with a shoulder injury and did not return. Campbell said the shoulder was tender on Monday, and Elliott was getting more tests during the time Campbell was speaking to the media. He said they’ll know a lot more Monday afternoon.
If the injury limits him at all this week, Campbell said he has confidence veteran C.J. Moore and second-year safety Ifeatu Melifonwu can step in and fill the void.
Where has rookie defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson‘s game progressed the most through 15 weeks?
Hutchinson leads the Lions and all rookies with 7.0 sacks on the season. He also has two interceptions and is tied for the team lead with seven tackles for loss. Campbell said the progression has really been all encompassing with Hutchinson’s game. Campbell said the thing Hutchinson has proven is he’s a versatile football player who continues to grow his entire game.
“He can pass rush,” Campbell said. “He’s a run defender. He can drop into coverage. He’s a football player. He is versatile and he has a knack for play action pass, he can kind of sniff those things out. He understands and has a few things in his repertoire as it pertains to rushing the quarterback. He plays stout on the edge in the run game. He finishes. He’s high motor. He’s got a knack for punching at footballs. He does everything.”
To Campbell, the impressive thing about Hutchinson is the totality of all those traits wrapped into one player.
