Lions Roster Shake-Up & Germany Prep | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions made surprise roster moves before their season opener, releasing defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike and rookie Tyre West. Onwuzurike, recovering from a torn ACL last year and struggling to meet expectations, was on the bubble but still made the 53-man roster—meaning his contract is now guaranteed. That doesn’t mean he’s done with the team; he could return to the practice squad or active roster later. Meanwhile, the Lions are gearing up for their international matchup in Germany, sticking to their original travel plan despite concerns. Coach Dan Campbell, drawing from his own experience with overseas trips, insists the team’s preparation and readiness are key—they’re focused on arriving energized and locked in for the game against New England.
