Michael Badgley : Suffers season-ending injury

Badgley suffered a season-ending hamstring injury during Thursday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. A torn hamstring during the first week of training camp will end Badgley's season before it really began, with the Lions reportedly planning to place him on injured reserve in the coming days. Jake Bates, a 2023 UDFA and breakout performer with the UFL's Michigan Panthers this past spring, is left as the only kicker on the roster, but it presumably won't be long before the team brings in some competition. Whoever ends up winning the job could have fantasy value even if they're inexperienced, as the Lions had one of the better offenses in the league last season and return most of their key pieces for 2024.
