Khalil Dorsey (Photo via CBS)The Detroit Lions have had a rough day with injuries, and Khalil Dorsey’s was the worst one.
After already losing cornerback Carlton Davis III to a concussion, the team would lose cornerback Khalil Dorsey not only for the game, but quite possibly for the season.
Dorsey collided with teammate and linebacker Ezekiel Turner and suffered what appeared to be a gruesome leg snap. The injury instantly warranted an air cast and a cart coming out to help the injured player.
The play continued, eventually ending in an incompletion, with Dorsey still on the ground, waving toward the sidelines for immediate help.
We are now seeing a gruesome slow-motion video of his devastating injury.

Khalil Dorsey Was The Detroit Lions Best Gunner
The way his leg snapped leads you to believe that his season is over.
This is a huge loss as Dorsey, who joined the Lions during the 2023 offseason, has played in 13 games this season and is the Lions’ best gunner on special teams.
He previously started at cornerback for the Lions in a Thanksgiving Day win against the Chicago Bears and also made 13 appearances for the Lions last season.
“Dorsey I think is, if not the best, one of the best gunners in this League,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said earlier this season. “He’s always causing some type of disruption or a penalty.”
He was also a fill-in kick returner to help fill the void of Kalif Raymond’s absence.
He will be sorely missed.

The Entire Internet Is Shocked After Finding Out That Rams RB Kyren Williams Is “Actual First Cousins” With Another NFL Superstar

The league has had plenty of family members join its ranks over the years, but it is pretty rare for them to play at the same time while also being top-tier.
This happens to be the case with Jameson and Kyren Williams, who are actually closely related. The latter, who plays as a running back for the Los Angeles Rams, is first cousin to the former.
Lions TV Network’s Dannie Rodgers revealed as much this Thursday, which came as quite a surprise as it is not listed on either player’s Wikipedia page – at least, it wasn’t before Thursday.
“#Lions Jameson Williams and #Rams Kyren Williams are cousins. Actual first cousins lol,” Rogers tweeted.
“No way!? That’s pretty cool,” a fan said in the comments.

“Some scary athletic genes in that family,” another pointed out.
“That’s actually really interesting and pretty cool,” said a third.
Rogers revealed Jameson told her so himself.
Jameson Williams & Kyren Williams Didn’t Have Similar Paths Into The NFL
Apart from having the same last name, the players are both from St. Louis, Missouri.
Jameson initially committed to Ohio State but transferred to Alabama in 2021 after hardly being played by the Buckeyes.
He led the SEC in receiving yards, yards per catch, and touchdowns as a junior, recording 79 receptions for 1,572 yards and 15 TDs. He was drafted as the No. 12 overall pick by the Lions in 2022.
Kyren, meanwhile, went to Notre Dame and became a starter in his second season. He recorded two consecutive seasons with over 1,000 rushing yards and was a Second-Team All-American in 2021. He was the 164th overall pick in 2022, earning Pro Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro selections last season.
