Lions' Dan Campbell comments on Christian Mahogany absence vs Dolphins
Lions head coach Dan Campbell commented on Christian Mahogany's absence against the Miami Dolphins.
On Sunday, the Detroit Lions started Miles Frazier at left guard instead of Christian Mahogany, who was sidelined due to injury. Frazier faced a challenging day, as indicated by his 31.9 overall offensive grade from Pro Football Focus. The lineman, who stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 325 pounds, struggled with both pass blocking (48.8 grade) and run blocking (37.8 grade), which was the worst among his team.
Detroit's head coach Dan Campbell revealed the reason behind Frazier's start, stating that it was due to team rules. Campbell emphasized that Miles deserved his opportunity, and it was the plan for the day. However, he added that it didn't mean the situation would remain unchanged. Mahogany did participate in five special teams snaps against the Miami Dolphins.
Despite the challenging day for Frazier and the Lions' offensive line, the team managed to secure a victory over Miami with a score of 19-9. This win marked Detroit's sixth victory of the season, raising their record to 6-2.
