Lions Top 10 Injury News of 2025: Honorable Mentions

The injury news for the Detroit Lions during the 2025 season didn’t stop at 10… or even 11. Yes, it was another rough year. Maybe 2026 will be healthier…

Hoping everyone had a fun and safe Independence Day!

Here are some Lions injury news that had an impact in the 2025 season, but didn’t quite make the Top 10 list.

Christian Mahogany - Left fibula fracture

November 2, 2025:

The Lions lost their starting left guard for six games due to a leg fracture. Mahogany returned to play in the final three games of the season, and should be fully recovered with no residuals for 2026. He appears to be the favorite to start again at LG.

Mekhi Wingo - Knee meniscus

A knee meniscus injury and surgery in November 2024 needed a follow-up surgery, delaying his recovery. While technically a healthy scratch for most of the 2025 season, the knee may have carried residuals as Wingo only appeared in two games (weirdly both against the Bears).

Raising hope for the future, this former 6th-rounder looked really sharp in the season finale of 2025…

January 4, 2026:

Jack Campbell - Lip laceration

September 22, 2025:

This lip lac was nasty and carried cosmetic concerns as the wound crossed the vermilion border. But Campbell played through, the repair was excellent, and his All-Pro headshots turned out dandy…

Ennis Rakestraw - Shoulder surgery

There were high hopes for this 2nd-round CB entering his 2nd season. However, a training camp shoulder injury necessitated shoulder surgery in August 2025, ending his season before it began…

Rakestraw has been healthy throughout OTA and minicamp. A door has been opened for him to make a big impact with the release of 2024 draftmate, Terrion Arnold, who is facing eight felony charges.
