Report: Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate to miss a 'few weeks' after shoulder injury
DETROIT – Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate left Sunday's game against the Saints with a shoulder injury. Ian Rapoport reports Tate is expected to miss "likely a few weeks," but is awaiting MRI results. Tate joins the long list of Lions injuries that continue to plague the team, including injuries to Glover Quin, T.J. Lang, Kenny Golladay, Taylor Decker and Haloti Ngata. Detroit Lions enter bye week with more questions than answersNew Orleans (3-2), which has a winning record for the first time since its last playoff season in 2013, built a five-touchdown lead, only to wind up gutting out a remarkable bid by Detroit to pull off the greatest comeback in NFL history. But after Agnew muffed a punt and barely got it out of the end zone, Saints defensive end Cam Jordan scored on virtually the same type of play as Robinson when he got his hand on Matt Stafford's pass from the end zone.
