Sewell to the Left: Lions OL Upgrade

The Detroit Lions’ offensive line struggled mightily last season, with Jared Goff sacked 38 times — a career high — forcing him into scramble mode. The left side, anchored by a faltering Taylor Decker and shaky rookie Christian Mahogany, was the main culprit. But this year, they’ve pulled off a bold fix: moving elite tackle Penei Sewell to left guard. With Sewell anchoring the weak spot and younger players expected to grow, the unit is poised for a massive upgrade. Even with some competition at left guard, the outlook is bright — and the Lions’ front five should finally deliver the protection Goff needs to thrive in 2026.
