Lions say TE injured trying to stop his dog, Lil' Rufio, from urinating indoors

In one of the greatest tweets ever sent, the Detroit Lions offered an explanation as to how their tight end Joseph Fauria injured his ankle.

Yes. It was Lil’ Rufio’s fault.

What’s refreshing about this is how open and honest the Lions were about it. Some organizations might have tried to hide the fact that a tight end for the team injured himself stupidly at home, or not divulged any details because it would be seen as a “distraction” or some such thing.

Not the Lions. They owned it. Joseph Fauria sprained his ankle trying to stop Lil’ Rufio from urinating in the house. They’re not hiding that from anyone.

Unless, of course, this is an elaborate cover story and Fauria injured it another way. In which case how DARE THEY besmirch Lil’ Rufio’s name.

UPDATE: LIL’ RUFIO HAS HIS OWN INSTAGRAM.
