Lions RB Sione Vaki suffers broken nose and eye injury in training camp

Detroit Lions running back Sione Vaki sustained a broken nose and eye injury during the first day of padded practice at the team's training camp on August 3. Head coach Dan Campbell described the injury as a 'freak' incident, occurring on the second play of team drills when Vaki was poked in the eye. This injury limits Vaki's opportunity for increased practice reps, as starting running back Jahmyr Gibbs is currently holding out for a contract extension. Vaki becomes the second player injured during the session, with tight end Anthony Firkser breaking his fibula and being placed on injured reserve.
