Detroit Lions linebacker Damone Clark is out indefinitely due to a significant injury sustained during training camp, head coach Dan Campbell announced on August 25. The injury occurred two to three weeks ago, adding uncertainty to Clark's roster position as final cuts approach. Clark, who joined the Lions this offseason, brought NFL experience but was primarily competing for a reserve role.
