ALLEN PARK, Mich. >> The banged-up Detroit Lions took some serious hits in their loss to the Buffalo Bills.
“Nobody cares,” coach Dan Campbell said Monday. “Nobody is going to give us a pass, or put an asterisk next to your record.”
Running back David Montgomery and defensive tackle Alim McNeill need to have season-ending knee surgeries after both were hurt in the setback to Buffalo, Campbell said. Khalil Dorsey had season-ending surgery Sunday night after breaking his leg against the Bills.
The Lions will also be indefinitely without cornerback Carlton Davis III, who had a jaw injury in the 48-42 loss to Buffalo that ended their franchise-record, 11-game winning streak.
Mahomes has high-ankle sprain>> Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a high-ankle sprain and his status for this week’s game against Houston remains in question, a person familiar with the results told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team did not announce any updates.
The testing confirmed what the Chiefs had initially expected.
Mahomes was hurt late in the Chiefs’ win over Cleveland on Sunday. Carson Wentz finished the game.
DuBose gets good news after scary hit>> Miami Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose remained in the hospital but had movement in all extremities after being stretchered off the field following a scary helmet-to-helmet hit against the Houston Texans on Sunday.
In an update Monday morning, the Dolphins said DuBose remained at a local Houston hospital for evaluation overnight, and that initial tests revealed “positive results” following the collision.
49ers suspended Campbell>> The San Francisco 49ers have suspended linebacker De’Vondre Campbell for the final three games of the regular season after he refused to enter a game after losing his starting job.
The news came four days after Campbell’s refusal to go into a game against the Los Angeles Rams was decried by coaches and teammates as a selfish act. The Collective Bargaining Agreement allows teams to suspend a player for up to four games without pay for conduct detrimental to the team and fine them one week’s pay.
