Day 5 of Lions free agency - Medical recap of the players Detroit has signed

[ASFN Admin]

Day five of free agency is over, so let's review who the Lions signed that day, along with their medical concern level from 1 (no concern) to 10 (has an operating room named after him).

Tim Patrick, WR - age 31 (1yr / up to $4 million) ⊳Link to Patrick article​

INJURY HISTORY

• 
  2024: Played 17 of 18 games.
  
  
• 
  2023: Achilles tear. Missed entire year.
  
  
• 
  2022: ACL tear. Missed entire year.
  

CONCERN LEVEL 6/10: His age (32 in November) along with the two serious recent injuries are a concern. Despite a healthy. productive last season, it remains to be seen whether his ligaments and tendons can hold up. He should start the season as the #3 WR.

Kenny Yeboah, TE - age 26 (1 year / $ undisclosed)​

INJURY HISTORY

• 
  2024: Possible core muscle injury. Did not play the first 8 games of year. Played the final 9 games.
  
  
• 
  2023: Hamstring. Did not play the first 12 games. Played the final 5 games.
  
  
• 
  2022: Calf, missed 2 games. Played in 10 of 17 games.
  

CONCERN LEVEL 4/10: The 2024 injury was publicly reported variously as a groin, abdomen, and core muscle. The reason for the uncertain diagnosis is likely because the groin area is complex to diagnose. A core muscle injury raises concern for something that could require surgery if there is a recurrence.

Last season with the Jets, the majority of his snaps came on special teams. He had 106 offensive snaps and finished with 5 receptions.
