Wow. What a blow to a really, really promising Lions season. Looks like this might JUST put the playoffs out of reach.
ORLOVSKY OUT WITH SPRAINED THUMB
Posted by Mike Florio on November 3, 2008, 3:01 p.m.
When Bears quarterback Kyle Orton injured his ankle during Sundays come-from-behind win against the Lions, more than a few NFL observers wondered whether Daunte Culpepper was having some remorse over agreeing to terms with Detroit.
As it turns out, the path to the playing field in Motown is a lot more clear than expected for Culpepper.
Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports that current Lions starter Dan Orlovsky is out indefinitely with a sprained thumb.
Last month, former starter Jon Kitna was placed on IR with a back injury.
Per Glazer, Orlovsky will miss the next few weeks, and possibly longer. Hell wear a cast for at least a couple of weeks.
The absence of Orlovsky leaves Culpepper (once his deal is official), Drew Stanton, and Drew Henson on the teams depth chart at quarterback.
We suppose its possible that, in lieu of dumping Henson upon the official arrival of Culpepper, the Lions will choose to put Orlovsky on IR. But theres no indication yet that the Lions are considering such a move.
