Levi Onwuzurike has missed significant time in training camp with a back injury for the second straight summer, but Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said he expects the young defensive tackle to be ready for the regular season.
Onwuzurike has not practiced since getting injured in a pile up Aug. 1. Last year, he missed about two weeks of training camp and one preseason game with an injury that dated to his college days at Washington.
"We just got to get it calmed down," Campbell said before practice Tuesday. "The kid’s in a good place and he’s getting back from it, he’s put in a lot of good work and so get him calmed down and get him right, get him realigned and I think he’ll be fine.
