Da'Shawn Hand Injury News & Updates
Nov 9, 2025
Will play Sunday
Hand (groin) is active for the Chargers' game versus the Steelers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Hand spent the past four weeks on injured reserve but is now set to make his return to the field. The 29-year-old should resume his role as one of the team's starting defensive ends during Sunday's matchup.
Nov 8, 2025
Activated from IR
The Chargers activated Hand (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, but he is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Hand opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday. He hasn't been officially cleared to return from a four-game absence Sunday, but his activation from IR indicates that he will play against Pittsburgh. Hand's return would result in less snaps at defensive end to go around for Justin Eboigbe and Scott Matlock.
Nov 5, 2025
Gets cleared to practice again
The Chargers designated Hand (groin) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand has spent the last four games on injured reserve with a groin injury he suffered in Week 5 versus the Commanders, but it now seems like he's trending towards playing again soon. His activity at practice during the week will be worth keeping an eye on ahead of Sunday's game versus the Steelers.
Oct 11, 2025
Moved to injured reserve
The Chargers placed Hand (groin) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Hand suffered a groin injury during the Chargers' Week 5 loss to the Commanders. He was unable to practice this past week, and the injury is severe enough for the 2018 fourth-rounder to go on injured reserve. Hand will be required to miss at least the next four games, making Week 10 against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 9 the earliest he can return. Justin Eboigbe, Naquan Jones, Otito Ogbonnia and Scott Matlock (ankle) should all see additional work at defensive end while Hand is on IR.
Oct 10, 2025
Sitting out Week 6
Hand (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Hand will be sidelined by the injury he suffered in the Week 5 loss to Washington. Scott Matlock (ankle) would be in line for additional action in Hand's absence if Matlock suits up. Hand's next chance to play will come against the Colts in Week 7.
Oct 5, 2025
Won't return vs. Washington
Hand (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand went to the locker room in the first half after sustaining a groin injury, and further tests have determined that the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Scott Matlock will continue to see additional snaps at defensive end with Hand done for the day.
Oct 5, 2025
Leaves game with groin injury
Hand is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders due to a groin injury.
ANALYSIS
Hand went to the locker room in the first half after sustaining a groin injury on defense, and he will be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Naquan Jones (coach's decision) inactive, Scott Matlock should see a significant increase in snaps at defensive end opposite Otito Ogbonnia for as long as Hand is out of the game.
Mar 13, 2025
Finds new team
Hand signed a one-year contract with the Chargers on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand is coming off a career year, having suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2024. He tallied 31 tackles (20 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in that span. Now, he'll get a chance to compete for additional first-team reps along a Los Angeles defensive line that parted ways with Joey Bosa to begin the offseason.
Jan 16, 2025
Career-high 31 tackles in 2024
Hand played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 31 tackles (20 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
ANALYSIS
Hand spent most of the 2024 season in a rotational role at defensive end behind starters Calais Campbell and Zach Sieler. Hand registered career highs in defensive snaps (532) and total tackles (31) and was able to play in every single regular-season game. The 2018 fourth-round pick will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, and he could look to join an organization that can offer him a bigger role with the first-team defense.
Aug 6, 2023
Finds new home
Hand signed with the Dolphins on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Hand only appeared in one game last season for the Titans after suffering a season-ending quadriceps injury in the team's first contest. Now healthy, he'll work to earn a depth role on Miami's defensive line.
Sep 13, 2022
Moves to IR
Hand (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand's injury being of the season-ending variety was reported earlier Tuesday, making his move to IR a formality. The 26-year-old will need surgery to repair the torn quadriceps he suffered on just his second play of the season. Hand will now turn his focus to being ready in 2023, while Kevin Strong and a likely practice squad call up, or new signee, will be looking at extra opportunities this season.
Sep 13, 2022
Done for the season
Hand (quadriceps) is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery due to an injury sustained Week 1, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand suffered a season-ending torn quadriceps during Sunday's season-opening loss to the Eagles. The depth defensive end spent much of the 2021 season dealing with a groin injury, and he will now have to focus on getting fully healthy for 2023.
Feb 14, 2022
Signs with Titans
Hand signed a contract with the Titans on Friday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand played six defensive snaps for Tennessee in the team's Week 18 win over the Texans after he was waived with an injury settlement by the Lions on Nov. 30. The veteran will look to carve out a place for himself along the interior of Titans' defensive line heading into the 2022 season.
Dec 20, 2021
Works out with Colts
Hand (groin) worked out for the the Colts on Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand reached an injury settlement with the Lions on Nov. 30 and became a free agent. His workout witht he Colts indicate he has recovered from the groin injury that landed him on the IR.
Nov 30, 2021
Waived with injury settlement
The Lions waived Hand (groin) off injured reserve with an injury settlement, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand was placed on injured reserve Nov. 23 after suffering a groin injury during the team's Week 11 loss to the Browns. With Hand off the team, Nick Williams will likely be asked to take on a larger role on the defensive line. Hand will be free to join another team when his injury is cleared.
Nov 23, 2021
Placed on IR
Hand (groin) was moved to injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The defensive end suffered the injury on Sunday against the Browns and will now miss at least three weeks before he can be activated from IR. While Hand is out, Nick Williams will likely be asked to take on a larger role on the defensive line.
Nov 21, 2021
Questionable to return
Hand (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Hand exited the game in the second half and did not record any stats. Nick Williams should step into a bigger role so long as Hand is sidelined.
Oct 30, 2021
Activated ahead of Week 8
Hand (groin) has been activated from IR for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Hand has missed the entire season up to this point with the groin issue. Upon his return, the Lions' starting defensive line stands to be at full strength for the first time all year.
Oct 20, 2021
Nearing return
Hand (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand has been dealing with the injury since the beginning of training camp, but he appears to be nearing a return. He can now practice with the team and must be activated within the next 21 days to have a chance to return this season.
Oct 11, 2021
Out at least another week
Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Hand (groin) won't return from injured reserve this week, Justin Rogers of Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand has been dealing with a groin injury since the beginning of training camp and was placed on injured reserve at the start of September. The 25-year-old is eligible to return from injured reserve at any point, but if he isn't added to the active roster within 21 days of being activated, then he will revert back to injured reserve for the remainder of the season.
Sep 24, 2021
Running on sidelines
Hand (groin) was seen running on the sidelines during practice this week, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand is on injured reserve due to a groin injury he sustained during training camp. Any sort of increased activity level is good news for the defensive end who will first be eligible to come off IR in Week 4 against Chicago.
Sep 2, 2021
Sent to IR
Detroit placed Hand (groin) on injured reserve Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury Aug. 10, and he will now be forced to miss at least the first three weeks of the season. The defensive end's first chance to retake the field will come Oct. 3 versus the Bears.
Aug 28, 2021
Long shot for Week 1
Hand (groin) seems like a long shot to be ready for Week 1, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. "Obviously [Hand's injury] ended up being a little more than we thought it would be," head coach Dan Campbell said. "So he's going to be out here for a little bit. There again, we're kind of hoping that this thing, maybe we get him back before the season starts but we'll see where it goes."
ANALYSIS
Hand has been sidelined since injuring his groin in practice on Aug. 10. Second-round rookie Levi Onwuzurike likely will need to handle a significant role from the jump with Michael Brockers (undisclosed) also on the mend from an injury.
Aug 11, 2021
Hobbles ankle in practice
Hand left practice Tuesday with an ankle injury, Justin Rogers of the Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year old is not expected to miss a lot of time with the injury according to coach Dan Campbell. Last season Hand played in 10 games for the Lions, tallying 19 tackles and one forced fumble. Assuming he gets healthy for the 2021 season, the fourth-year defensive end figures to be a key depth piece in the pass rush rotation this season.
Dec 19, 2020
Shifts to injured reserve
Hand (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old picked up the ankle injury during last week's loss to the Packers and will miss the finale three games of the season. Hand finishes 2020 with 19 tackles (12 solo) and one forced fumble in 10 games.
Dec 18, 2020
Sidelined for Week 15
Hand (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Hand will sit out for the fourth time in five games. With Everson Griffen on the COVID-19 list, Romeo Okwara and Austin Bryant figure to log substantial workloads while Frank Herron rotates in.
Dec 13, 2020
Ready to roll for Week 14
Hand (groin) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Hand sat out his third consecutive game last Sunday against the Bears, but the 25-year-old's return to the lineup bolsters Detroit's defensive line for another divisional showdown. The Alabama product has just one start to his name on the 2020 campaign, but he's fielded more than 40 percent of the defensive workload in each of his nine appearances, collecting 16 tackles and a forced fumble.
Dec 4, 2020
Will miss third straight game
Hand (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Hand will miss a third consecutive game and once again was unable to practice at all this week. At this point, he's far from a lock to return against the Packers in Week 14.
Nov 25, 2020
Out against Texans
Hand (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Texans, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand is poised to miss a second straight game after missing practice all week. Romeo Okwara will start at defensive end, and Everson Griffin figures to start on the other side of the line.
Nov 21, 2020
Sitting out Week 11
Hand (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Hand will miss his first game of the season. The 25-year-old will join fellow defensive end Austin Bryant (thigh) on the eventual inactive list, leaving Romeo Okwara and Everson Griffen to start at the position Sunday. Frank Herron was also elevated from the practice squad to add depth.
Oct 4, 2020
Gearing up Sunday
Hand (chest) is active for Sunday's game versus the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Hand will avoid missing time with a chest injury that popped up this week. The 24-year-old defensive end should resume starting duties where he's registered six tackles (four solo) through three games.
Oct 2, 2020
Limited all week
Hand (chest) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand was a limited participant in practice all week with this new injury, so he's trending toward a game-time decision. The third-year defensive end has six tackles through three games, and if he's forced to sit out, expect Romeo Okwara to bump into a starting role while Julian Okwara enjoys an uptick in usage.
Sep 13, 2020
Suiting up for Week 1
Hand (groin) is active for Sunday's season opener against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Hand was slowed at practice this past week, but his injury will not prevent him from taking the field in Week 1. It's not clear if he will be limited at all, but he does figure to slot in at the starting defensive end spot opposite Trey Flowers.
Sep 11, 2020
Officially listed as questionable
Hand (groin) is questionable for Sunday's season opener against Chicago, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand put together a trio of limited practice sessions while nursing his groin injury, so the starting defensive end has at least a shot at gaining clearance for Week 1. In the event that Hand ends up on a snap count or forced to miss time, however, Romeo Okwara would stand to see an increased workload.
Jun 26, 2020
Ready for 2020
Hand (ankle) will enter training camp healthy after being limited to three games last season, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old had a promising rookie campaign, but an arm injury suffered in July derailed the first half of 2019, and he eventually moved to injured reserve due to an ankle injury after making three appearances. It was a lost season for Hand, but a strong showing in camp could go along way toward reclaiming a larger role in 2020.
Jan 10, 2020
Forgettable 2019 campaign
Hand (ankle) registered six tackles and one pass breakup over three games in 2019.
ANALYSIS
There was plenty of hype surrounding the Lions' defensive front this preseason, and Hand's promising 2018 season was a big reason why. Unfortunately, an elbow injury delayed his 2019 debut until Week 8 and he only lasted a couple of games before suffering an ankle injury that would effectively end his year. While it's not clear where Hand stands in his recovery from said injury, Hand's rookie-year showing suggests there's a good chance the Alabama product could bounce back in 2020.
Dec 12, 2019
Placed on IR
The Lions placed Hand (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand's injury-riddled 2019 campaign now comes to an end. The second-year pro appeared in just three contests, during which he notched six tackles (four solo) and one defended pass. Hand will now set his sights on returning to full health in time for offseason workouts.
Dec 6, 2019
Can't go Sunday
Hand (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand was able to practice Wednesday but sat out the remainder of the week. Consequently, the Lions will be without some of their depth on the defensive line.
Dec 5, 2019
No practice Thursday
Hand (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Hand was downgraded from limited participation Wednesday to the full absence Thursday. That doesn't bode well for his availability in the team's Week 14 contest against the Vikings, though he has not yet been ruled out.
Nov 28, 2019
Ready to rock
Hand (ankle) is active for Thursday's divisional tilt against Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Hand logged a trio of limited practices this week, and he'll manage to retake the field after a two-game absence. The second-year pro's presence will be a valuable boost to Detroit's depth on the defensive line.
Nov 27, 2019
Sports questionable tag
Hand (ankle) is considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Hand was limited in practice all week after sitting out the past two games, so he's trending in the right direction. His final status will come down to 90 minutes before Thursday's 12:30 p.m. ET kickoff.
Nov 22, 2019
Ruled out again
Hand (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Redskins.
ANALYSIS
Hand didn't practice in any capacity this week, and he'll now miss a third straight game due to his ankle injury. With Trey Flowers (concussion) also ruled out, Romeo Okwara and rookie Austin Bryant could serve as Detroit's starting defensive ends Week 12.
Nov 15, 2019
Still out Week 11
Hand (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old didn't practice this week and will miss his second straight contest due to the ankle injury. Hand has appeared in only two games this season since he also suffered an elbow injury in the offseason.
Nov 8, 2019
Won't play Sunday
Hand has an ankle injury and was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Hand apparently suffered the injury during last week's loss to the Raiders and was unable to practice this week. The 23-year-old already missed the first seven weeks of the season with an elbow injury.
Oct 25, 2019
Primed for season debut
Hand (elbow) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Hand was a full practice participant throughout the week, leaving the Lions optimistic about him returning to action in Week 8, according to Kyle Meinke of MLive.com. The 2018 fourth-round pick should provide a boost to Detroit's defensive line, which ranks tied-27th in the league win only 10 sacks.
Oct 23, 2019
Practices without limitations
Hand (elbow) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Hand appears to have a good chance of making his season debut Sunday against the Giants. If he's able to suit up, Hand is likely to play a rotational role along Detroit's defensive line.
Oct 20, 2019
Not playing Week 7
Hand (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Hand received the questionable tag after putting in a full practice Friday, so the fact he's unavailable Sunday is a bit surprising. John Atkins and Kevin Strong are the depth options on the defensive line for the Lions this week since Mike Daniels (foot) is also sidelined.
Oct 18, 2019
Officially questionable
Hand (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Hand practiced in full Friday after being limited to start the week, so he's trending in the right direction for Sunday's divisional tilt. The second-year pro is still working to make his 2019 debut.
Oct 13, 2019
Officially out Monday
Hand (elbow) won't play in Monday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Hand was initially deemed questionable for this contest, but now he may be left in Detroit as the team travels to Green Bay. The second-year pro will now look to make his season debut in Week 7 against the Vikings.
Oct 12, 2019
Questionable for Monday
Hand (elbow) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Hand was able to practice in a limited fashion Friday and Saturday, and he looks to have a good chance of making his NFL debut Monday. If he's able to go, he likely won't have a starting role behind Trey Flowers, but he should still have a respectable workload as the No. 3 defensive end.
Sep 29, 2019
No-go Sunday
Hand (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Hand was limited in practice throughout the week after sitting out the first-three games of the season due to his elbow injury. He'll set his sights on a return against the Packers in Week 6 after the Lions' Week 5 bye.
Sep 27, 2019
Questionable for Sunday
Hand (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand was limited all last week as well and ultimately was downgraded to out against the Eagles. With that, it's unclear if Hand has made enough progress in his recovery from an elbow injury to suit up Sunday. He will likely end up being a game-time decision.
Sep 26, 2019
Limited again
Hand (elbow) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Hand was limited in practice all last week and was ultimately declared out versus the Eagles. He'll work to return to full health in time to suit up versus the Chiefs on Sunday.
Sep 21, 2019
Downgraded to out
Hand (elbow) will not play in the Lions' Week 4 matchup against Eagles, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hand was originally listed as questionable on the team's final injury report, but they opted to rule him out a day ahead of time. His next chance to make his season debut will be Week 4 against the Chiefs.
Sep 20, 2019
Questionable for Week 3
Hand (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's outing against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Hand was limited all week in practice and will carry a questionable tag for the third straight week. Should Hand finally be made active for Sunday's contest, he is expected to operate as a reserve defensive end.
Sep 15, 2019
Not playing Week 2
Hand (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 tilt against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
The reserve defensive end will have to wait until at least Week 3 to make his season debut after being limited in practice throughout the week.
Sep 13, 2019
Carries questionable tag
Hand (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Hand was a limited participant in practice all week after missing the season opener. If he shakes off the injury in time, expect him to get a fair amount of snaps behind Trey Flowers and Romeo Okwara.
Sep 6, 2019
Downgraded to out
Hand (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Hand was originally considered questionable after being limited in practice all week. The 23-year-old has been struggling with the elbow injury since July. With Austin Bryant (arm) on injured reserve, Detroit is currently left with just Romeo Okwara and Trey Flowers at defensive end.
Sep 6, 2019
Questionable with elbow injury
Hand (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener in Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Hand was limited in practice for the third straight day Friday, and he is questionable to play this weekend as a result. The elbow injury has been lingering since July for Hand, and another update on his progress should come Sunday.
Sep 5, 2019
Practices in limited fashion
Hand (elbow) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Hand has been managing an elbow injury since late July, and his chances of suiting up Week 1 versus the Cardinals are unclear. Romeo Okwara is the next man up at defensive end, and there's no guarantee that Hand would immediately retake the starting role when healthy if he were to miss significant regular-season time.
