Fear the beard, but maybe not in week one or worse.
DeAndre Levy out this weekend. Concern is possible internal damage. Could be extended absence, surgery. Trying to manage symptoms.

So what does this mean for the Detroit Lions? Well it makes week one that much tougher.
The Detroit Lions will have to make due without their top two defenders from last year and that’s a lot for any team to over come. The Lions do have some depth at the linebacker but second year outside backer Kyle Von Noy was already banged up and not really in the rotation linebacker anyway. That brings us to Josh Bynes, who was a nice signing for a back up last year but he isn’t coming close to replacing one of the best all around 4-3 outside linebackers in the game.
This will be a tough bill to pick up, if Levy is gone for any extended period of time that already tough first four games of season even tougher.
