Although Ibrahim was not selected during the 2023 NFL draft, he signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent immediately after the draft’s conclusion. He was waived/injured on August 20, 2023, and placed on injured reserve. [15] He was released six days later with an injury settlement. [16] He was re-signed to the practice squad on October 17. [17] He was elevated to the active roster ahead of a road game against the Baltimore Ravens on October 22. While being tackled during a kickoff return in the third quarter, he suffered a hip injury (later revealed to be a dislocation) and had to be carted off the field. [18] The Lions placed him on the practice squad/injured list two days later. [19] He was not signed to a reserve/future contract after the season and thus became a free agent when his practice squad contract expired. [20]
