Detroit Lions adjust roster before season opener against New Orleans Saints

The Detroit Lions finalized two roster changes on Saturday ahead of their season opener at home against the New Orleans Saints. The organization re-signed defensive end Levi Onwuzurike to the practice squad and elevated defensive lineman Ben Stille from the practice squad to the active roster. Team officials view the versatile Stille as a contributor capable of playing multiple positions across the line, including big end and nose tackle. These moves arrive as the club attempts to solidify its depth chart before Sunday’s kickoff. While the primary roster remains largely intact, the front office is finalizing the team composition for the upcoming matchup. The Lions selected Onwuzurike in the second round of the 2021 draft, and he returns to the organization following a period in free agency.
