On Wednesday, Dan Campbell was asked about how Levi Onwuzurike and Josh Paschal have been developing this offseason, and the Detroit Lions coach used the opportunity to express his cautious optimism about Onwuzurike.

“I just want to be careful because we’re not in pads, I just want to reiterate that, but Levi is having a really good spring,” Campbell said. “Paschal is too but Levi – because where he’s come from and all he’s had to deal with, I mean, this guy just has continued to rehab, he’s continued to train his body and work, he’s put on weight because his back can handle it now, we got him through last year to where he’s able to bank some reps and he’s having a really good spring,”

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard that Onwuzurike has put his back injury in his past.
