Lions elevate Ben Stille and re-sign Levi Onwuzurike to practice squad

The Detroit Lions finalized roster adjustments ahead of their Week 1 game against the New Orleans Saints. The team elevated defensive lineman Ben Stille from the practice squad to the active roster. Additionally, the club re-signed Levi Onwuzurike to the practice squad, one day after releasing him. By signing Onwuzurike to the practice squad, the organization avoids triggering a fully guaranteed contract for the veteran defender. While Stille will be available for the upcoming game, Onwuzurike will not play this week. The Lions also opted not to elevate center Seth McLaughlin, leaving the team without a clear backup for Juice Scruggs.
