Lions' Christian Mahogany: Activated from NFI list
Rotowire
The Lions activated Mahogany (illness) from the reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday.
Mahogany was placed on the reserve/NFI list at the end of training camp due to an illness. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 8, and while he hasn't played in each of the Lions' last three games, he has been a full practice participant over the last two weeks. The rookie sixth-round pick will provide the Lions with depth on the offensive line for the rest of the 2024 campaign.

Lions' Christian Mahogany: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Detroit designated Mahogany (illness) for return to practice Tuesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Mahogany has missed the whole season up to this point due to an unspecified illness, but his return to practice signals that the 2024 sixth-round pick could soon make his NFL debut. The 23-year-old guard will most likely fill a backup role along Detroit's offensive line once he's activated from the reserve/non-football illness list.

Mahogany (illness) was moved to Detroit's reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The specifics of Mahogany's ailment are still unknown at this point, but it's apparently serious enough to keep him off the field for the foreseeable future. In the meantime, Kayode Awosika could be seen as the next man up at guard if Kevin Zeitler (shoulder) misses time to start the new campaign.

Lions' Christian Mahogany: Perfect fit in Detroit
Rotowire
The Lions selected Mahogany in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 210th overall.
Mahogany gained a reputation for playing with intensity in his five years at Boston College, and he earned All-ACC honors in his last two healthy seasons. Projected as a mid-round pick, he may have slipped further than anticipated due to a torn ACL that forced him to miss the entire 2022 campaign. The Lions were likely attracted to his mean streak on the field, and he'll bring the ability to play both right and left guard to the team's offensive line.
