Lions Get Final Sam LaPorta Status Update For Playoff Matchup With Buccaneers

In order to extend their Super Bowl journey, the Detroit Lions must defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Although Sam LaPorta’s injury has raised doubts, the game should still be exciting. His status for this divisional playoff round matchup is finally known. LaPorta is now officially active for the Lions, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Jared Goff will benefit greatly from having Detroit’s elite tight end available.”Sam LaPorta, a tight end for the Lions, is officially active for today’s game against the Bucs.”

The rookie tight end for the Lions made an instant impact. Surprisingly, for someone who usually takes a few seasons to adjust to the NFL, he’s been a monster for this offence. However, Sam LaPorta appears to be developing into the league’s next great tight end in his early years of play.LaPorta reeled in a touchdown grab to show that he was still as dependable as ever in the first round of the playoffs. Although he didn’t gain much ground or targets in that game, the Los Angeles Rams performed a fantastic job of containing him. The Buccaneers have one of the weakest passing defences in the league, which is good news for the Lions.

Tampa Bay ranked 29th in pass defence at the end of the regular season. Every game, they gave up an average of 248.9 yards. Furthermore, the Bucs let up 23 touchdowns via the air to rival offences. It looks like Sam LaPorta and the Lions offence are going to have a great day.
