Detroit Lions NFL Draft Injury Report: Michigan DT Rayshaun Benny
· Yahoo Sports
Michigan fans will be familiar with Rayshaun Benny - a big man in the middle of the defense. The Lions could use a big man with the likely loss of DJ Reader this offseason in free agency.
Here is the excerpt of my medical report on Benny:

Rayshaun Benny, DT (24) - Michigan
Projected round 4-6.
Concern level 3/10
- 2025: 13/13 games
- 2024: 11/13 games. Missed 2 games with unknown injury.
- 2023: 14/15 games. Broken fibula in playoffs.
- 2022: 13/14 games
- 2021: 3 games
- HS: Knee injury in car accident.
Benny had a reliable final season at Michigan, but was banged up a couple times in the prior two seasons. The broken fibula in the 2023 season isn’t a concern if it’s isolated. But if it involved the ankle joint, it could be more of an issue.
A remote knee injury in high school needs some investigation, but he’s proven himself in multiple college seasons since. His age is older than ideal.
