The Detroit Lions have never been to a Super Bowl. They’ve only been as far as the NFC Conference Championship game twice.
2024 looked like it could change that. It still could — but the Lions are going to have to overcome a litany of injuries that have devastated their depth chart to get there.
Week 15 saw three more starters hit the injury report. Running back David Montgomery suffered an MCL injury. Defensive tackle Alim McNeill and cornerback Carlton Davis both suffered what could be season-ending blows.
