Netane Muti’s injury-riddled career will continue.
After spending the 2024 season on injured reserve, the 25-year-old guard re-signed with the Detroit Lions earlier this week, the team announced.
Muti (6-3, 315 pounds) fell to the sixth round of the 2020 NFL draft due in large part to injury concerns. The Denver Broncos picked the Fresno State product in the second-to-last round of the draft, betting on his high upside.
He spent the first three years of his career with the Broncos, starting four games. Denver cut him ahead of the 2022 season and Muti went on to spend the next two years with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Muti signed a reserve/future contract with the Lions after the 2023 season and he was competing for a 2024 starting role before suffering a shoulder injury that landed him on IR.
Muti’s football career has been hindered by injuries including a torn knee ligament, a torn Achilles, a Lisfranc injury and the aforementioned shoulder injury. He will now aim to stay healthy and bounce back in Detroit next season.
