Top Mekhi Wingo News

  • Lions' Mekhi Wingo: Suffers head injury

    Wingo sustained a head injury in Thursday night's preseason opener against the Bengals, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

    Coach Dan Campbell said afterward that Wingo "got his bell rung," suggesting Wingo will undergo concussion testing over the next 24-to-48 hours. Wingo appeared in just two regular-season games last season.

  • Lions' Mekhi Wingo: Tending to groin issue

    Wingo left the Lions' training camp practice to be evaluated for a groin injury Thursday, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.

    The severity of the injury is unknown, and there's no concrete timetable for Wingo's return. Until he's able to practice again, rookie sixth-rounder Skyler Gill-Howard and Myles Adams could see an uptick in reps at practice.

  • Lions' Mekhi Wingo: Activated off PUP

    The Lions activated Wingo (knee) off the active/PUP list Tuesday, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.

    Wingo is healthy again after having recovered from a knee injury suffered last November. The 22-year-old has been on the PUP list since July but will look to earn a spot on the team's final roster as a backup defensive tackle.

  • Lions' Mekhi Wingo: Placed on active/PUP list

    Wingo (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Lions on Thursday.

    The defensive tackle suffered a season-ending knee injury on Thanksgiving Day last year in a win over the Bears. Wingo can technically return in time for the Lions' preseason opener this year against the Chargers on July 31, though that remains a question after he underwent surgery. In 11 games as a rookie, the 2024 sixth rounder played on 162 defensive snaps and 44 special-teams snaps, finishing with nine tackles (one solo).

  • Lions' Mekhi Wingo: Placed on injured reserve

    The Lions placed Wingo (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

    Wingo will undergo season-ending surgery after injuring his knee during the Lions' Thanksgiving Day win over the Bears. The rookie sixth-round pick will end the regular season with nine tackles (one solo) across 11 games.

  • Lions' Mekhi Wingo: Done for season

    Wingo is slated for season-ending knee surgery, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

    Wingo hurt his knee Thanksgiving Day in a victory over the Bears, and the injury will put an end to his rookie campaign. The defensive tackle will end his first NFL season with nine tackles (one solo) over 11 games. Brodric Martin may become part of the Lions' defensive rotation in Wingo's stead.

  • Lions' Mekhi Wingo: Picks up knee injury Thursday

    Wingo sustained a knee injury during Sunday's win against the Bears.

    Before sitting out Week 9 due to an ankle injury, Wingo was a regular part of the Lions' rotation at defensive tackle, but he mostly has fallen off since returning Week 10, recording two tackles over the last three contests. He may have been pressed into action after Levi Onwuzurike was ruled out with a hamstring issue, but Wingo now is dealing with a health concern himself.

  • Lions' Mekhi Wingo: Past ankle issue

    Wingo (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Wingo was sidelined for the Lions' Week 9 win over the Packers due to an ankle issue, but Wednesday's full practice suggests he's moved past the issue. Now that the rookie from LSU has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Lions' top rotational defensive tackles in Week 10, when the team travels to Houston.

  • Lions' Mekhi Wingo: Deemed out for Week 9

    Wingo (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest versus Green Bay.

    Wingo popped up on the injury report Thursday due to an ankle issue and didn't practice at all Friday. He was doubtful to play entering the weekend and has now been ruled out against the Packers. With Wingo set to sit out Sunday, the Lions signed defensive lineman Chris Smith to the active roster Saturday.
