NFL Draft injury report: Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE

March 18, 2026, 8:03 a.m. ET

The Lions are likely to be searching for an EDGE in the draft to bolster their pass rush. Dani Dennis-Sutton is projected to be available in Rounds 2-3 which would be an ideal position to snag one. Let’s review the medical concerns with an excerpt from my medical report on Dennis-Sutton.

Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE (22) – Penn State

Projected round 3.

Concern level 1/10

Dennis-Sutton compiled 34.5 TFL and 23.5 sacks in his college career which featured zero missed games.

A “groin” can sometimes be concerning for a core muscle injury or a hip joint issue, but it’s reassuring he was able to play through, plus another season afterwards. His dislocated elbow from high school is of low concern after a full college career.
