Levi Onwuzurike's Future Up In The Air
2 years agoDetroit Lions defensive end Levi Onwuzurike (back) continues to rehab and is uncertain to play in 2023. "The first thing I'm thinking about, I'm not thinking about the player playing. I'm thinking about the player being healthy. And then if he plays, that's just icing on top," defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn said. The 25-year-old pass-rusher was a second-round selection by the Lions in 2021 out of Washington. He had 35 tackles (15 solo) and one sack in 16 games (zero starts) in his rookie year, but he didn't play at all in 2022 after suffering a back injury in the team's first padded practice. Onwuzurike continues to rehab his injury, but it's unknown if he'll be able to play again this year.
