Lions lose LB Tulloch for season

Lions lose LB Tulloch for season

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Detroit Lions middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL he suffered while celebrating a sack.

Tulloch injured his knee in the first quarter of Detroit’s 19-7 victory over Green Bay on Sunday. He returned to action but was unable to continue playing, spending the remainder of the game on the sidelines.

Chargers LB Te’o has fractured foot

SAN DIEGO — A person with knowledge of the situation says San Diego Chargers linebacker Manti Te’o has a fractured foot and is expected to miss significant time.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Monday night because the team hasn’t made the news public.

Te’o was hurt in Sunday’s 22-10 victory at Buffalo. He has been bothered by foot injuries. He missed the first three games of his rookie season in 2013 with what the team said was a sprained right foot. He had surgery on the foot in January.
