# Levi Onwuzurike

NFL player. Position: **DL**. Team: **DET**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** DL (Interior Defensive Lineman)
- **Team:** DET (Detroit Lions)

## 2026 Outlook

Onwuzurike is recovering from ACL surgery (performed around May 2025) after signing a 1-year free agent contract with the Lions. He participated in OTA activities in early June 2026, signaling that the Lions are giving him a genuine opportunity to compete for a roster spot. Unless there's a setback with the knee, he should be ready in plenty of time for training camp and the season. However, production expectations should be tempered in his first year back from ACL injury, as evidenced by similar lineman recoveries like Alim McNeill (per Detroit Lions OTA Injury Participation Update: Levi Onwuzurike - Yahoo Sports).
