The Detroit Lions announced two significant downgrades on Saturday, and neither comes as a surprise, but both will be felt when Detroit takes the field against the Los Angeles Rams.
Rookie guard Christian Mahogany (fibula) was not activated from Injured Reserve and has officially been ruled OUT for Sunday’s game. The team had hoped he might be ready to return this week, but the rookie standout will now have to wait at least another game before making his 2025 debut.
The Lions also downgraded safety Thomas Harper (concussion) to OUT, eliminating any chance he had of clearing protocol in time for the Week 15 showdown. Detroit’s secondary, already without Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch, becomes even thinner against Matthew Stafford and a high-powered Rams passing attack.
With two more names joining the unavailable list, Dan Campbell and his staff will once again lean heavily on depth, versatility, and young defenders being thrown into big roles.
Detroit and Los Angeles kick off Sunday in a matchup with major NFC playoff implications — and the Lions will be doing it shorthanded once again.
