The Detroit Lions lose Brandon Pettigrew for the year
The Lions have lost rookie TE Brandon Pettigrew for the season due to serious damage to his left knee. Pettigrew played in 11 games for the Lions this season and he caught 30 passes for 346 yards (11.5 avg) with 2 TD grabs. This will hurt the Lions’ offense as Pettigrew was a player that Matt Stafford trusted in the passing game.
