#8 No concussions during regular season & playoffs
Incredibly, there were no diagnosed concussions during the regular season and playoffs. Only Penei Sewell had a concussion during training camp. This was another bit of fortune in a blessed season.
Where are they now: Sewell has not suffered a concussion since. However, in each of the next two seasons, the Lions had six diagnosed concussions.
#9 Mohamed Ibrahim hip dislocation
October 22, 2023:
This freak injury resulted in an immediate transport to the hospital where his dislocated hip was put back into place (reduced).
The major ongoing concern with this injury is a 5-10% chance of avascular necrosis (death of bone due to lack of blood flow), which typically presents within five years.

Where are they now: In a good sign for his health, Ibrahim signed with the Vikings during 2024 training camp. However, he was waived four days later and has not been in the NFL since.
#10 Frank Ragnow 's painful year
November 23, 2023: Left knee meniscus
January 21, 2024: Suspected left MCL and left high ankle sprain
Ragnow missed just two games with his meniscus tear and another game due to a calf injury.
Where are they now: All these injuries added up as Ragnow retired before the 2025 season. An attempted comeback was thwarted by a curious hamstring, which earned the #7 spot on the 2025 Top 10 list.

Currently, Ragnow is almost certainly retired permanently from the NFL.
