Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta exited his team’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and is listed as questionable to return with an ankle injury.

He was carted to the locker room in the second quarter, but returned for a couple of snaps in the third quarter. He limped to the sideline not long after the start of the second half, though.

LaPorta appeared to get up slowly after blocking for running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who scored a touchdown on a “hook and ladder” play, and was spotted on the cart near the end of the first half.

He had two catches for 36 yards before leaving the game. The Lions held a 20-10 lead at the half.
