Hassanein’s Comeback Bid | Detroit Lions News

Ahmed Hassanein is making a statement in his second chance with the Detroit Lions, exploding onto the scene with a dominant preseason performance against the Bengals — sacking Joe Burrow, tallying four tackles, two sacks, and two tackles for loss, and earning the highest PFF grade of any player in the game. After being waived last year with an injury settlement, he’s now healthy, playing in his natural position, and mentally focused — even posting cryptic social media hints that this season could be “different.” With reps scaled back in the next game as coaches evaluate options like Derrick Moore and D.J. Wonnum, Hassanein still has one more shot to lock down his roster spot against the Colts — and if he keeps this up, he might just be the breakout defensive end the Lions have been waiting for.
