U DeFelice out with foot injury
Umpire Garth DeFelice departed the Lions-Saints game early with a foot injury at 5:45 of the first quarter. (Apparently it was on the kickoff, because all seven officials were on the field for the preceding field goal.) Sunday Night Football sideline reporter Michelle Tafoya said that it appears to be a tendon injury on his left foot, apparently after feeling an unsettling pop.
Side judge Greg Meyer moved to the umpire position, leaving two deep officials.
