SAD NEWS: Lions Starting Guard’s Season Ends Too Soon After Devastating Knee Injury vs. Vikings
Detroit, MI – November 2, 2025
What began as a tough divisional loss for the Detroit Lions quickly turned heartbreaking. Starting guard Christian Mahogany’s season has officially ended too soon
after suffering a devastating lower-leg injury in Sunday’s matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Mahogany’s leg bent awkwardly around a Vikings lineman during a blocking play. He was immediately carted off the field in visible pain, his left leg later seen secured in a walking boot as he exited the locker room on crutches.
Head coach Dan Campbell confirmed the injury involves Mahogany’s knee and expressed deep disappointment: “It’s going to be a long one. Maybe not forever, but we’re talking late December at best.”
The loss is a massive blow to a Lions offensive line already battered by injuries.
Taylor Decker, Penei Sewell, and rookie Tate Ratledge each left the game briefly with various ailments, while Minnesota’s relentless pressure sacked
Kayode Awosika finished the game in Mahogany’s place and is expected to take over starting duties moving forward, though the Lions are reportedly exploring
For Mahogany, once seen as a rising force in Detroit’s line, the injury marks a premature end to what was shaping up to be a breakout sophomore campaign —
Commanders' nightmare loss to Seahawks continues to get worse with more unfortunate injury updates
The season is officially over for the Washington Commanders, and the nightmare somehow continues after the worst night in recent memory for this franchise.
The Commanders got blown out at home in primetime during a night that was supposed to be special with the throwback uniforms and Art Monk jersey retirement, but it turned into fans leaving in the middle of the second quarter, and a gruesome injury. You can move on from a loss, but seeing Jayden Daniels go down with a severe elbow injury was gut-wrenching.
Daniels' injury wasn't the only significant injury last night, as the hits continue with two more season-ending injuries
Luke McCaffrey suffers a season-ending injury
The game barely started before the Commanders suffered yet another injury, and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey went down after returning the opening kickoff. He went down awkwardly on his left side, which is now being diagnosed as a broken collarbone that will have him out for the rest of the year.
McCaffrey was starting to really find his role in the offense and special teams, and now his season comes to an end. He was second in the league in kickoff return yards with 769, and also averaged 18.5 yards per catch. The Commanders turned to McCaffrey after injuries to Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown, and he was showing a lot of promise with multiple tough catches.
He should be part of the offense next season, but another injury just shows even more how badly this team needs help at the position. The Commanders added Treylon Burks and hope to get a roster win from him, but major changes need to happen with McLaurin and Brown injured, and Deebo Samuel not under contract next season. The defense is another conversation, and they lost another starter for the rest of the season.
Marshon Lattimore is feared to have torn an ACL
The defense was an embarrassment once again, with the Seahawks blowing the team out before halftime, and it never got any better. Busted coverage and wide-open explosive plays were all over the field, and major changes need to happen on and off the field. It got even worse for Marshon Lattimore, who went down with an injury that is feared to be a torn ACL.
There's no easy way to put it, but it was a nightmare night for Lattimore. He played really well last week against the Kansas City Chiefs, but it's time to admit that this trade was a massive swing and a miss by Adam Peters. It's unfortunate to see the season go down like this for Laittmore in what is very likely his last game with the Commanders. He's under contract for next season as well, but I don't expect him to be here after the defense faces an overhaul this offseason, if not sooner.
Injuries have been the biggest headline of the season with multiple starters suffering long-term injuries, and the roster honestly needs an overhaul as well. It will be a long rest of the season, with a massive offseason coming up.
