Onwuzurike was signed to Detroit's practice squad Saturday after being let go by the team the day prior. The 28-year-old will now return to the Lions' active roster for the first time since the 2024 campaign after he missed the entire 2025 campaign while recovering from a torn ACL. Onwuzurike will have the chance to play a significant role on the defensive line versus Buffalo, potentially starting alongside Alim McNeill at defensive tackle.
