Detroit Lions defensive line: Less defined roles in 2018

Not much has changed when it comes to the Detroit Lions defensive line. Obviously, losing All-Pro defensive tackle Haloti Ngata to the Philadelphia Eagles via free agency is a major blow. But the Lions’ only had the 34-year old’s services for five games last season due to a bicep injury anyway.

But when it comes to the Lions’ roster along the defensive line, many of the faces are still the same. Once again, this unit will be led by Ezekiel Ansah. The premier pass rusher that racked up 12.0 sacks last season despite struggling all year with inconsistent play and injuries is making his return.
