All offseason, many circled defensive tackle as one of the Detroit Lions’ biggest needs. However, the Lions didn’t make any splashy moves there. Outside of spending a late third-round pick on a defensive tackle, the Lions only invested in the position by re-signing players from last year’s roster.
That is until the Lions signed Christian Covington in May. Fans were probably hoping for a more significant move at defensive tackle, but Covington could play a pretty important role with the defense this year.
Previous roster previews: Aidan Hutchinson, Jameson Williams, Josh Paschal, Kerby Joseph, James Mitchell, Malcolm Rodriguez, James Houston, Chase Lucas, Obinna Eze, Greg Bell, Penei Sewell, Levi Onwuzurike, Alim McNeill, Ifeatu Melifonwu, Amon-Ra St.
