Lions are likely to be without their starting center next week
Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports reports that the Lions have told Domenic Raiola to expect the one-game ban, which would leave him on the sideline as the face the Packers for the NFC North title in Week 17. This comes after the Lions center Raiola stepped on rookie defensive tackle in last weeks game.
“Obviously I took a good look at [the play],” Caldwell said, via the Detroit Free Press. “Looked at both the coach’s copy and also the television copy as well, and I believe what Dom told me, that it was inadvertent. But I can also see why it obviously is being reviewed by the league and everybody’s taking a real good look at it because you can also see the other side of that as well. There’s a league protocol to it. It’ll be reviewed, taken a look at and we’ll deal with the issues after there’s been some determination there.”
