The Detroit Lions placed defensive end Romeo Okwara on the Non-Football Injury list Sunday, according to their official website. Austin Bryant, the 2019 draft pick at the same position, was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list as well.
The NFI list is used when a player contracts an injury — or any condition that renders them incapable of playing — from activities that are deemed non football related. The PUP list is used when players are injured in a football related activity before training camp.
Okwara has been a regular contributor for the Lions since arriving in 2018.
