Detroit Lions' CB Saivion Smith to have neck surgery

During the Detroit Lions Week 5 matchup against the New England Patriots, the Lions not only embarrassingly lost the game but, more importantly, they lost CB Saivion Smith to a scary injury. The injury, which took place in the first quarter of the Lions 29-0 loss to the Patriots, forced Smith to be taken off of the field in an ambulance and transported to a local hospital. On Wednesday, Smith, who will have to have neck surgery, spoke to reporters, and he explained what the "scariest thing" of his life was. ▬ About Detroit Sports Nation ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ https://detroitsportsnation.com In 2010, Detroit Sports Nation started in the same way many a great night has, in a dimly lit bar over a couple beers.
