The Eagles’ offense is starting to get moving, and the Lions’ defense has lost a key player.
Lions safety Glover Quin suffered a leg injury late in the first quarter and hasn’t returned to the game. He appeared to be in pain, and frustrated that he couldn’t run on the sideline. Quin went to the locker room and the Lions said he was questionable to return with an ankle injury.
The Eagles, taking advantage of a depleted secondary, took the lead with a two-yard touchdown pass from Mark Sanchez to Brent Celek. That tied the score at 7-7.
Philadelphia also suffered a loss in the secondary, as starting right cornerback Nolan Carroll went down in the second quarter. Carroll was carted off the field, wearing the look of a player who knows he had just suffered a significant injury.
