Levi Onwuzurike is back with the Detroit Lions for 2026, healthy and hungry after missing two seasons to injury — and coach Dan Campbell is thrilled. Though his contract paused due to last year’s ACL tear, Onwuzurike’s camp performance has been electric, showing explosive strength and smart, chess-like play against the run. He’s not guaranteed a starting role, but his versatility — playing inside or outside, disrupting backfields — makes him a key piece opposite Aidan Hutchinson. With depth at interior DT, Onwuzurike brings something unique, and while competition from Tyleik Williams and Tyler Lacy heats up, he’s poised to make a major impact in his sixth season. Campbell calls him a “pain” for opponents — and the Lions are glad it’s theirs to handle.
