The Detroit Lions defense took another hit to the depth chart with the news that rookie defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo is out for the remainder of the 2024 season.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell revealed that Wingo, a 6th-round rookie from LSU, will miss the rest of the year with a knee injury. Wingo left Thursday’s win over the Chicago Bears in the second half and did not return.
“Wingo is going to be out, he’ll be done for the season,” Campbell stated. “His will probably require surgery. That’s another one.”
On the plus side, Campbell believes Wingo will be ready for the start of the 2025 season.

The Wingo injury sheds more light on why the Lions poached DL Jonah Williams from the Los Angeles Rams practice squad.
