“Given the highly personal and emotional nature of recent events surrounding our quarterback Jared Goff, we have decided to suspend all team activities, including games and practices, until further notice. Our organization prioritizes the well-being of our players and their families during difficult times.”
The statement has been met with both support and criticism, with some applauding the team’s compassionate approach while others question the impact on the Lions’ playoff aspirations.
