Romeo Okwara Out For The Season
3 years agoDetroit Lions standout pass-rusher Romeo Okwara (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in the Week 4 loss to the Chicago Bears and is out for the rest of the 2021 season, according to a source. Okwara will finish the year with six tackles (three solo) and a sack in four games this year, and the Lions will need Charles Harris and Austin Bryant to step up in his absence the rest of the way. The Lions defense/special teams hasn't been all that bad so far this season, but losing Okwara the rest of the way is a tough pill to swallow. They'll continue to be off the starting fantasy radar in a Week 5 date with the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, who will be looking to bounce back after putting up only seven points in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns.
