Jason Hanson was able to kick a little bit in today’s practice but is still far from perfect.  Below are some answers Hanson gave to the media’s questions today.

Was it an ATV accident that caused your injury?

 Here is the official word. I cut my left knee with my family. I have some stitches in it. Honestly, I don’t remember how many. A decent little cut. The point is this, everybody at the Lions knows every detail of what happened. I don’t feel like I was irresponsible. I didn’t think I was putting myself at any risk. I was with my kids, so the actual details, the Lions know and I’m not saying. I don’t feel like I’m hiding anything. It’s just that I don’t feel like telling the whole story to everybody. Other than that, I hope to be ready for this week’s game. It’s terrible timing. I can’t believe that it happened. Again, I said this to everyone at the Lions, I’m super sorry. Terrible week for this to happen, but my guilt level is pretty low as far as I didn’t feel like I was doing anything to hurt the team. That’s where it stands. I kicked a little bit today. It felt decent. Tomorrow we’ll be able to tell if I can be up for this week.
