Dan Campbell: Jared Goff chest injury not related to blocking
Jared Goff appeared on the Detroit Lions' practice report with a chest injury this week but does not have an injury designation for Sunday.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell clarified that Jared Goff's recent chest injury during practice was unrelated to any blocking he performed on field. When asked if Goff's downfield blocks contributed to his injury, Campbell laughed and stated, "No, it’s not related to his blocking and, honestly, it was not really that big of a deal."
The quarterback had gone viral for his two blocks on runs by Jahmyr Gibbs against the Minnesota Vikings, one of which resulted in a touchdown. Despite being listed as limited on the practice report, Goff fully participated in Thursday and Friday's sessions. He will start Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. Campbell assured that Goff's injury won't hinder his aggressive blocking in the upcoming game.
