Sam LaPorta Injury Update
Tight end Sam LaPorta is questionable to play in the Jacksonville Jaguars' Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions. LaPorta suffered a concussion in the Jaguars' Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. He was limited in practice on Friday, but his status for Sunday's game is still up in the air. If LaPorta is unable to play, it would be a big blow to the Jaguars' offense. LaPorta has been one of the team's most consistent pass-catchers this season, with 33 receptions for 363 yards and three touchdowns. He is also a valuable blocker in the running game.Betting Impact
LaPorta's absence would likely have a negative impact on the Jaguars' offense, and thus, their chances of winning the game. The Lions have a solid defense, and without LaPorta, the Jaguars would be without one of their most dangerous weapons. As a result, the Lions would be favored to win the game if LaPorta is unable to play. The Lions are currently 5-point favorites, but that line could move to 6 or 7 points if LaPorta is ruled out.Ultimately, LaPorta's status for Sunday's game is still up in the air. If he is unable to play, it would be a big blow to the Jaguars' offense and would likely make the Lions a bigger favorite in the game.
