The Detroit Lions enter the regular season with questions surrounding their defensive line. Those concerns escalated to new heights following the surprising release of third-year defensive end Anthony Zettel combined with the shoulder injury that has sidelined premier pass rusher Ezekiel Ansah since Week One.
Who knew that a random waiver wire claim won prior to the start of the season would make such a big impact on the Lions defense? That player, of course, being third-year defensive end Romeo Okwara.
Undrafted out of Notre Dame back in 2016, Okwara was a two-year starter for the Fighting Irish.
