After 13+ months of rehabilitation following an Achilles tear, Detroit Lions edge rusher Romeo Okwara has started practicing, and the team has initiated his 21-day evaluation clock.
In Week 4 of the 2021 season, Okwara tore his Achilles and was lost for the year. A study of medical surveys we did at Pride of Detroit following the injury suggested a long recovery for the talented edge rusher. In the studies examined, they noted that the average mean of recovery was around 11.9 months, but acknowledged that the bigger the player, the longer the recovery typically took.
