Detroit Lions rookie defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, according to Nolan Bianchi of the Detroit News. The LSU product sustained the knee injury during their victory on Thanksgiving over the Chicago Bears. Mingo operated as a rotational piece on the Detroit defensive line and tallied nine total tackles (one solo) with eight assists in his rookie campaign. The sixth-round pick is set to undergo season-ending surgery and will set his sights on returning in 2025. As a result, fantasy managers in IDP formats should expect Alim McNeill, Levi Onwuzurike, and DJ Reader to see most of the snaps down the stretch.
Mekhi Wingo, Malcolm Rodriguez Questionable To Return Thursday
Detroit Lions defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo (knee) and linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez (knee) are both questionable to return during Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears. This is crushing news for the Lions, who entered Week 13 shorthanded on defense and also lost defensive contributors Levi Onwuzurike (hamstring) and Josh Paschal (knee) during the first half. At the time of their respective departures, Wingo had two tackles while Rodriguez had five tackles and one pass defended.
