Detroit Lions running back Sione Vaki suffered a bizarre injury in practice on Monday that will leave him sidelined for the foreseeable future.Head coach Dan Campbell revealed that the third-year running back was left with a broken nose after a teammate’s hand penetrated his face mask.The 25-year-old was also poked in the eye during the incident, which Campbell described as ‘unbelievable’.’We’re hopeful, vision should be okay in time,’ Campbell said. ‘We’re not gonna have him here today, just gonna let him kind of recover a little bit. So we think he’ll be okay. He’s just gonna need a minute here.’Just one of those freak things, somehow a hand gets through the facemask. It was unbelievable.’Vaki was selected by the Lions in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft after starring with the Utah Utes as a two-way player in college.
