Lions’ Shaun Rogers put on IR, Super Bowl hopes in jeopardy
Rogers was suspended for four games by the NFL in October for taking a banned substance to help control his weight. He had knee surgery while he was away from the team, and he did not play when he was eligible because coach Rod Marinelli said he wasn’t healthy.
‘When he came back, guys could see he wasn’t fully recovered from surgery,’ Marinelli said. ‘It is a blow, losing him. He’s a heck of a player. But we’ve been playing without him for eight weeks.’
