Injuries That Reshaped the Lions | Detroit Lions News
Description
The Detroit Lions’ 2022 season was a turning point, shaped by injuries and bold moves. Halapoulivaati Vaitai’s preseason back injury led to season-ending surgery, and despite a brief 2023 return, his career appears over — but the Lions now have a locked-down right guard in Tate Ratledge. Meanwhile, D’Andre Swift, who battled through shoulder and ankle issues, was traded after a disappointing 2022. Now, Swift’s health has soared — he’s rushed over 1,000 yards in both 2023 and 2025 with new teams. And for the Lions? Jahmyr Gibbs has thrived as their new workhorse, staying healthy and productive. Injuries reshaped the roster — and turned tough decisions into unexpected wins.
