Detroit Lions' Season Challenges and Southwest Detroit Water Crisis
The Detroit Lions faced significant challenges during the 2024 NFL season due to two key players suffering ACL injuries. Defensive tackle Alim McNeill sustained a knee injury during a game against the Buffalo Bills on December 15, 2024, and is expected to miss a significant portion of the 2025 season. McNeill, who recently signed a four-year, $97 million contract extension, may not return to peak performance until 2026. Linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez also suffered an ACL tear on November 28, 2024, and is likely to start the 2025 season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Both injuries highlight the ongoing risks of ACL tears in the NFL, which typically require 10-11 months of recovery. The Lions’ injuries were part of a league-wide total of 38 ACL tears during the 2024 season, the second-lowest since 2013.
Meanwhile, in Southwest Detroit, cleanup efforts continue following a massive water main break that flooded streets and basements in the Beard and Rowan streets area. The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department has made an online damage report form available for affected residents and property owners. Claims must be filed within 45 days of discovering the damage, and residents are required to obtain a service request number by calling the department at 313-267-8000. The incident, caused by a 54-inch water main break, is one of several recent infrastructure failures in the Metro Detroit area, underscoring the need for improved maintenance and response systems.
