\n

Detroit Lions star offensive tackle Penei Sewell left the team’s final training camp practice early Wednesday with a foot injury.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Multiple reports said Sewell went to the sideline, where trainers removed his sock and shoe to look at the foot. He then went to the locker room under his own power for tests.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The Lions, who have aspirations of the Super Bowl after making the NFC Championship Game last season, can ill afford to lose Sewell.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The 23-year-old has been a standout for the Lions since they selected him with the No. 7 overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft. He’s never missed a game — starting all 50 games — and Pro Football Focus rates him as the top offensive tackle in the league. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

It grades the Lions’ offensive line — also anchored by center Frank Ragnow — as the league’s best.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Sewell was named to the Pro Bowl the past two seasons and to the All-Pro first team in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The Lions start the regular season on Sept. 8 against the Los Angeles Rams, welcoming their former quarterback, Matthew Stafford, and his team to the city.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
