Lions lose long snapper to injury vs. Raiders

Not often is an injury to a long snapper significant, but in the case of Scott Daly his absence will be felt.

Late in the win against the Raiders on Monday night, Daly was injured on a field goal attempt. Daly suffered a knee injury and was able to limp off the field upon further examination it was shown that he will be out for some time.

Dan Campbell told the Detroit News that if they needed a replacement in the game, they didn’t having not attempted another kick, that Aidan Hutchinson and Alex Anzalone would have served in the role. The team is entering a bye week so they have time to find a replacement but it seems practice squad member Jake McQuaide is going to be it.

The former two-time Pro Bowl long snapper entered the NFL in 2011 and quickly earned a reliable role on the St. Louis Rams roster. McQuaide played his college football at Ohio State so he should be familiar with Big Ten fans.

The Lions as mentioned are on a bye in week nine and will return against the Chargers on November 12.
