Training camp has started for the Detroit Lions, so unfortunately, the injuries have too. The Lions announced on July 26 that veteran kicker Michael Badgley suffered an injury preparing for practice the day prior.
Badgley will require surgery to repair the injury and will miss the entire 2024 season.
“I feel awful for Badgley, man,” Campbell told reporters on July 26. “He worked his tail off to get ready for this season, and he was having a good spring and was ready for camp. It’s tough.”
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on X (formerly Twitter) that Badgley suffered “a torn hamstring” injury.
Without Badgley, Jake Bates is the only kicker on the Lions roster. Bates has never kicked in an NFL regular season game.
