Good question which is going to have a somewhat subjective answer. There are metrics that show Lions were 2nd most injured team (Cardinals) in 2025 based on man-games missed.
But the quality of player/position as well as players playing through injury are very important. Sportsinfosolutions attempts to account for that and ranked the Lions as 10th most injured team in 2025. Lions stayed very healthy at QB which was a huge positive that puts them ahead of a lot of teams.
Hey Doc, for the second season in a row, the Lions seemed to have more than their fair share of injuries. Is there any way to quantify that?
