Overview

• Defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike will miss at least the first four games of 2025 after being added to the reserve/PUP list.
• The Lions declined to disclose the specific nature of Onwuzurike’s injury following his 2022 spinal fusion comeback season.
• Alim McNeill and Mekhi Wingo joined the active/PUP list with separate season-ending knee issues, while Taylor Decker, Khalil Dorsey, Miles Frazier and Malcolm Rodriguez also remain sidelined.
• Defensive end Josh Paschal and cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver III were placed on the non-football injury list, and running back Anthony Tyus III was waived with a non-football illness designation.
• NFL rules mandate a minimum four-game absence for PUP players, forcing Detroit to retool its defensive front and offensive line depth charts.
