US EditionLions Suffer Devastating Blow as Promising DT Is Out for the Season
WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN, JUL 20 – Levi Onwuzurike will miss the entire 2025 NFL season after ACL surgery, adding to the Detroit Lions' defensive injury challenges before training camp starts.
- Sunday before training camp practice, Dan Campbell announced Detroit Lions defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike will miss the 2025 season after a torn ACL, as he underwent surgery, Campbell said.
- Prior to camp, the ACL tear, Campbell said the surgery `had to be done`, impacting Onwuzurike's 2025 season.
- On Friday, the Lions placed rookie Tyleik Williams to fill the gap created by Onwuzurike's season-ending injury, as the team faces a short-handed defensive line with DJ Reader and Roy Lopez also stepping up.
- Campbell said, `Losing Levi, that hurts, but it helps that we've got Tyleik`, while facing injury challenges, creating a tough start for the defense.
- There’s hope for McNeill and Wingo as they could return near the start of the season, but Onwuzurike’s ACL surgery confirms he will miss 2025.
