Detroit Lions place offensive lineman Giovanni Manu on NFI list
Summary

The Detroit Lions announced the placement of offensive lineman Giovanni Manu on the active/non-football injury list following Wednesday's training camp practice. Manu, who was drafted in the third round in 2024, has had limited participation due to injury, playing only four games in his first two seasons. His current status keeps him from practicing until he is removed from the list, but it does not imply he will miss regular-season games. The Lions are evaluating Manu's potential along the offensive line as they have added competition in the roster, including veteran Larry Borom and first-round draft pick Blake Miller.
