Injury prevention is at the forefront of everybody’s mind especially after the high number of injuries to the Detroit Lions defense in 2024. One actionable way to prevent injuries is to try to limit the number caused by friendly fire – teammates hitting each other.

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes had to deal with injuries that decimated the roster and likely cost the team a chance to make a Super Bowl.

The Detroit Lions' defense was decimated by injuries in 2024. Entering the year with plenty of promise, the Lions lost several key cogs in their operation to season-ending injuries over the course of the 18-game regular season.

Over the last four seasons on defense, Barron has recorded 289 tackles with 3.5 sacks and 20 tackles for loss. Adding to that, we’ve seen two interceptions and 10 pass deflections over the last two seasons. Additionally, he’s played over 1,000 snaps on special teams in his career.
