The Detroit Lions are getting ready for their NFC Championship game against the 49ers on Sunday. Meanwhile, they have been releasing some odd injury reports.
In addition to designating center Frank Ragnow as available for Sunday despite having injuries to his ankle, knee, toe, and back, Hendon Hooker was added to the roster for an odd reason.
The rookie quarterback’s recovery from an ACL tear he suffered while still at Tennessee took up the majority of the season on the injured reserve list. He was brought back into the report due to a dental injury, but he was activated last month. According to Ian Rapoport , “Hendon Hooker makes the injury report… because he had a chipped tooth pulled. That’s a new one. (He’ll be fine.),” .

“Tooth”
“Ankle / Toe / Knee / Back”
the duality of man. https://t.co/pn3ZntPY68
