Coming into the 2018 season, it was evident the defensive line was going to be a problem area for the Detroit Lions. Between the health of Ezekiel Ansah, the potential draft bust of A’Shawn Robinson, and the questionable free agent signings. Also, considering general manager Bob Quinn decided to make the run game a priority instead of the defensive line this past draft.
Beginning of the season, all those notions turned out to be correct. Ansah did not even make it out of the first game before he injured his shoulder. Robinson was a healthy scratch to start the season after an unimpressive preseason.
