Detroit Lions safety Ifeatu Melifonwu has dealt with multiple injuries over the course of his four seasons in the NFL. In 2024 alone, he's done two stints on the injured reserve list. Ankle and finger injuries have derailed his fourth season in the league before he was finally able to make his season debut in Week 16.

The Lions head into the playoffs as the #1 seed with a 15-2 record. It's an impressive feat. It's even more impressive considering the absurd number of defensive injuries the team has had to overcome.
