Detroit Lions linebacker Damone Clark out indefinitely with injury

Summary

Detroit Lions linebacker Damone Clark is out indefinitely due to a serious injury sustained two to three weeks ago, coach Dan Campbell announced. Clark had been expected to compete for a roster spot within the team's crowded linebacker unit. In more positive news, safety Thomas Harper is dealing with an ankle injury but could return sooner, though likely not this week. With other defensive players on the Physically Unable to Perform list, depth will be crucial for the Lions as they finalize their roster ahead of the season.
