It didn’t look good when watching the Lions preseason game in New York, and the news for offensive lineman Connor Galvin isn’t good either. Galvin will miss the 2024 NFL season with a torn ACL, according to several reports, including one from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Galvin suffered the injury during Thursday night’s game when he got rolled up on and his left leg got pinned when hit from the back and side. It’s the same injury that befell defensive lineman John Cominsky during a training camp practice, and much the same injury mechanism, too.
Cominsky could conceivably return for the postseason, but Fowler’s report indicates the Lions will not effort to get Galvin back in 2024.
An undrafted free agent from Baylor in the 2023 NFL Draft, Galvin spent his rookie season on Detroit’s practice squad. He had grown his game in his second training camp, competing for the top reserve tackle role with Colby Sorsdal.
