The Detroit Lions added to their offensive line on Day 1 of the free agency negotiating period with Larry Borom, who has experience at OG and OT. Borom does have a few injuries in his past, but overall has a low medical concern level.

Here is Borom’s medical report:

Larry Borom, OG/OT (27)

Contract: undisclosed

Concern level 3/10

This Detroit native has had multiple ankle injuries in his career. This could be simply due to bad luck as offensive linemen are always at risk of getting rolled up on. Somewhat concerning is that two of the ankle injuries required visits to the IR (not to be confused with visits to the ER which would be worse).

His 2025 season was orthopedically healthy, which is a very good sign going forward.

Borom has played OG and OT in his NFL career which gives him nice versatility. Contract numbers are still undisclosed so we don’t know how highly the Lions view him yet. If the money is backup-equivalent (which is my guess), that’s a sign that the Lions are still looking for a starting OT – likely in the 1st round of the draft.
