Things are changing for the Lions, and with new players added, some guys are going to be put in some tough situations

If Levi Onwuzurike, a second-round pick in 2021, can stay healthy this fall, Dan Campbell said the Detroit Lions believe they have 'a good player.'

Depth is a good problem to have, but it also leads to difficult roster cuts. The Detroit Lions may have to make some surprising decisions in 2026, and a few unexpected players could be on the bubble.

Levi Onwuzurike and Josh Paschal missed all of last season with injuries but had their contracts toll for 2026, meaning they could come back.

Levi Onwuzurike and Josh Paschal may still be with the Detroit Lions in 2026 thanks to little-known NFL contract rules tied to injury lists.

Thanks to language in the CBA, a pair of Detroit Lions defensive linemen will see their contracts tolled into 2026.

Detroit Lions defensive linemen Josh Paschal, Levi Onwuzurike are actually under contract in 2026 due to provisions in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Levi Onwuzurike’s season ended before it began, but a CBA provision allows the Detroit Lions to carry his contract into the 2026 season.
