This is my take, both with the injury to Tyler Higbee and to TJ Hockenson:
It was an unfortunate injury, but not an intentional one.
Kerby Joseph is unfairly being viewed as a dirty player by many Vikings fans, LA Rams, and many others. Under the current rules, Joseph made the right decisions on the respective plays.
Dan Campbell displayed support for Kerby Joseph earlier in the week. It's great to see Aaron Glenn doing the same. Matthew Stafford is turning off a lot of Lions fans.
