LIONS HEAD COACH DAN CAMPBELL QUOTE SHEET (VIA ZOOM)

On if the team will be able to activate any players from the Reserve/COVID-19 list due to the restructured protocols made by the League yesterday: “I think that it’s highly unlikely for us for that to happen. I know we felt like talking about it last night, but some of the things that have come into play I don’t think will help us. Now, who knows? Maybe we get lucky, but it doesn’t – I don’t think it bodes well for us right now.”
On the reports that TE T.J. Hockenson will miss the rest of the season due to hand surgery: “I’ll verify that. He did, he had surgery yesterday and fixed his hand. And so yeah, obviously that will probably do him in right there. We’ll miss him, and everything went well though.”
On if TE T.J. Hockenson’s injury occurred during the game against the Minnesota Vikings: “Yeah, that was when it happened and it was just kind of one of those things, ‘What is the injury? Is it a bone bruise? Is it a tear?’ It was kind of between both. It’s just a matter of how you feel about where it’s at and it’s a player’s preference. And so, all good. Got it fixed.”
On if there was a setback in TE T.J. Hockenson’s recovery from his injury before opting for surgery: “We encourage these guys to – you get it assessed, you get a second opinion, and then the player weighs the options and that’s what it comes down to.”
On his confidence level in G Tommy Kraemer if G Jonah Jackson has to miss Sunday’s game: “He’s ready. He’s been taking in the reps this week. As you guys know, he played against Chicago. We know he’ll be ready to go in there and know what to do and he’ll battle if needed.”
