Penei Sewell News
Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell (head) is in concussion protocol. Fortunately, head coach Dan Campbell reported the Pro Bowler is "doing well" and could return to practice on Wednesday. Sewell was selected No. 7 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft and has started 33 games throughout his career, so the Lions will certainly continue to rely on him moving ahead.
Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn said that "right now" the team is preparing to be without rookie offensive lineman Penei Sewell (ankle) in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. The seventh overall pick in the draft was off to a strong start to his first NFL season, playing every single one of Detroit's offensive snaps through the first four weeks. Hopefully Sewell's absence won't be extended beyond one game. On top of it, center Frank Ragnow (toe) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday with turf toe, so the Vikings defense could have their way with Detroit's offensive line this weekend. Sewell moved from right to left tackle when Taylor Decker landed on IR. It's unclear if Matt Nelson will move to the left side or if Will Holden will take over on quarterback Jared Goff's blind side.
Detroit Lions first-round offensive tackle Penei Sewell, who was the No. 7 overall pick of last month's draft, will move to right tackle in his first season in the NFL after playing left tackle in college at Oregon. "It is not that easy," Sewell said on Day 3 of organized team activities. "Man, it's a whole different feel." Sewell played the position in high school and was an All-American, but he stopped playing on the right side in college. The Lions are force-feeding him repetitions so that he can be ready by the regular season, and they also want him to become well-acquainted with his offensive line teammates. Sewell is in good health now after testing positive for COVID-19 recently. The 20-year-old has the athleticism and overall talent to be a generational left tackle in the NFL, but for now, because of the presence of Taylor Decker on the left side, Sewell will settle in at right tackle in Detroit.
