How the injury happened
An isolated fibula fracture (no sig ligament damage, high ankle sprain, other fracture) could be back in ~8wks. Chris Godwin came back this year in 7wks.
Christian Mahogany hurt 11/2. Regular season ends 1/4. So it is possible he could return depending on details of injury. https://t.co/JY94t3PSqMpic.twitter.com/xp0Sh166dq— Jimmy Liao MD | Detroit Lions Morning Rounds (@JimmyLiaoMD) November 26, 2025
