The Detroit Lions will kick off their preseason slate this Friday against the Atlanta Falcons. Unfortunately, they will do so without some key defensive members, Levi Onwuzurike and Julian Okwara, as they continue to miss practice.
Onwuzurike has not practiced for nearly two weeks after getting caught in a pile-up that looks to have aggravated the back/hip. The same problem area he dealt with during training camp kept him out for a significant amount of time and continued to linger throughout last season.
