Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard has been under fire for his defense’s performance in the first two weeks. However, one of the biggest excuses given for him is that he is shorthanded.
Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch are on the PUP. Plus, the defense surprisingly lost Terrion Arnold after he was arrested in the offseason. So, they are not running at full capacity in the secondary. However, Sheppard is not using the injuries as an excuse. He said that blaming injuries for the issue is for ‘losers’.
