Source: Lions lose LB Copeland to torn pec
Lions linebacker/defensive end Brandon Copeland will require surgery for a torn pectoral muscle and likely miss the season, a source says.
Michael Rothstein ESPN Staff Writer
Rough preseason opener for the Lions with two defensive contributors knocked out in Brandon Copeland and Kerry Hyder. Copeland was a good flex player who could play DE, LB and a core special teams guy. Hyder was the team's second-best pass-rusher. They are also two of the better stories on the Lions the last two years. Copeland, a Penn grad who spent his offseason working for Weiss Multi Strat financial firm, made the Lions in 2015 in what he deemed his last real chance with the NFL and started carving out a career. Hyder went from a long shot to make the roster last year to a breakout end with eight sacks.
