Lions Rookie Defender Dealing with Pectoral Injury, Might Not Return This Season

Ahmed Hassanein's pectoral injury adds to Detroit Lions' defensive setbacks with multiple key players sidelined for the 2025 season, impacting team depth and rotation.

  • In Detroit's training camp, Dan Campbell confirmed Monday that rookie defensive end Ahmed Hassanein is out indefinitely with a pectoral injury, and his return remains uncertain.
  • In Saturday’s preseason loss to the Miami Dolphins, Ahmed Hassanein suffered a pectoral injury that now puts his season in question.
  • Hassanein, a sixth-round pick out of Boise State, left Saturday’s game after his 10th snap and had two pressures and five tackles in three preseason games.
  • Campbell added he doesn’t have the answer yet on Hassanein’s return, which depends on recovery and roster management.
  • Meanwhile, Levi Onwuzurike will miss the season after ACL surgery, and McNeill, Paschal, and Wingo are expected to miss the start, while Norris remains in concussion protocol.
