Detroit Lions Friendly Fire Injury Analysis: 2025 & 2024 Seasons

[ASFN Admin]

The Lions have had more than their share of injuries the past two seasons. How big of an impact was friendly fire?

Here is an excerpt from Detroit Lions Friendly Fire Injuries: 2025 & 2024 Seasons:

I reviewed all my Lions injury videos of 2025 and 2024 to look for friendly fire. Here is the quick recap followed by all the videos - ranked by significance.

I also assign avoidable or unavoidable tags to the injuries, with the caveat that there is gray area here. “Avoidable” injuries have unnecessary and foreseeable action that led to the injury.

Lions 2025 Friendly Fire Recap​

• 6 friendly fire injuries
• 0 were “avoidable”
• All injuries minor and did not lead to any missed games.
• Conclusion: Friendly fire was not a problem during the 2025 season.

Lions 2024 Friendly Fire Recap​

• 8 friendly fire injuries
• Only 1, maybe 2, were “avoidable”
• 4 led to major injuries with significant time missed.
• Conclusion: Friendly fire had a huge impact on the 2024 season.

#1 Amon-Ra St. Brown - Right low ankle sprain​

Unavoidable

Rolled up on by a teammate, ARSB left this game but was back for the next.

#2 Jack Campbell - Lip laceration​

Unavoidable

This one could have been avoided if Branch makes the easy interception, but otherwise was just a fluky occurrence. Campbell’s laceration looked nasty, but the repair was excellent. Campbell missed no time.

#3 Jared Goff - Left foot/ankle​

Unavoidable

Just a very minor issue here that Goff played through.
