The Facts:
Detroit Lions wide receiver Ryan Broyles injured his right knee on the team's second offensive possession of Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. He was examined on the trainer's table before heading to the locker room on his own. Broyles did not return to the game, however he was seen on the sideline in street clothes and with his knee wrapped. Titus Young and Brian Robiskie were inactive, which left Calvin Johnson and Mike Thomas at wide receiver. Tight end Tony Scheffler stepped in as the third receiver after Broyles' exit.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
First things first. Broyles injured his right knee, not the one he had ACL surgery on in 2011. His early exit from Sunday's game was a major buzz kill for fantasy owners that plugged him into their lineups with the expectation of a productive day. Broyles will have an MRI and other tests on Monday to determine the severity of his injury and an estimated timetable to return. If Broyles' injury will cause him to miss time, then it will be interesting to see whether Young, Sr. stays in the doghouse or gets a chance to redeem himself in Week 14. We'll keep you posted on Broyles' condition as new information becomes available.
