Sam LaPorta (calf) doesn’t practice Thursday

Sam LaPorta (calf) did not participate at Detroit’s practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: LaPorta is a new surprise addition to Detroit’s injury report, being listed with a calf injury of some kind that left him sidelined. This is the first we’re hearing of his injury, and that’s now a good sign. Calf injuries tend to linger, so unless this is a very minor issue that the team is just being careful with, there is some cause for concern for his Week 6 availability. Fantasy managers should pay attention to his practice participation on Friday and status heading into the weekend to get a better idea about whether or not he’ll be healthy for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers.
