The Detroit Lions could be heading into one of their toughest matchups of the season against the Cleveland Browns, but veteran defender Al-Quadin Muhammad isn’t letting a knee injury slow him down. Despite being banged up, the defensive end has made it clear that he intends to suit up and set the tone for Detroit’s defense in this high-stakes clash.
Muhammad, who has quickly become a respected voice in the locker room, knows the Browns bring a physical brand of football behind their powerful run game and tough offensive line. For him, this is the type of test he embraces — one that demands grit, leadership, and a willingness to play through pain.
“I’m here to fight with my brothers,” Muhammad reportedly told teammates. “In games like this, it’s about heart.”
The Lions will need that mindset as they aim to contain Cleveland’s offense and keep momentum alive in the NFC race. With Muhammad promising to push through his injury, Detroit’s defense will have both an emotional spark and a battle-tested leader when they take the field.
