The Detroit Lions, already leading the NFL in the number of defensive players on injured reserve, suffered three more season-ending injuries today.

The most severe injury was to cornerback Khalil Dorsey, who had to be carted off the field with an air cast on his leg. He was later taken to the hospital, and it’s confirmed that his leg injury will end his season.

Additionally, head coach Dan Campbell stated after the game that defensive tackle Alim McNeill, who injured his knee, and cornerback Carlton Davis, who sustained a jaw injury, are both also expected to miss the remainder of the season.

While the Lions have been one of the league’s top teams this year, their defense has been severely depleted by injuries.

This series of setbacks has created significant challenges for them, especially as they prepare for the playoffs.

With so many key defensive players sidelined, the Lions’ hopes of maintaining their dominance in the postseason look increasingly difficult.

The sheer volume of injuries they’ve faced is a rare and overwhelming hurdle that could be too tough for any team to overcome, potentially hindering their ability to stay on top when it matters most.
