WR Amon-Ra St. Brown also had his contract restructured. The Lions created $35.68 million in cap space.

Lions OC Drew Petzing said Penei Sewell has had a “seamless” transition from right tackle to left tackle.

Sewell will return to the position he often played at in his rookie season back in 2021. He should remain one of the top offensive lineman in the NFL.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said he's considering switching All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell to left tackle for the 2026 season.

"That's easy," Campbell said on Sewell. "I've talked to him. We're ready to do that, if need be. I don't want to say that right now I'm going to commit to that, but that's, I mean, we're ready to do that," Campbell said at the NFL annual league meeting. "And all he wants is a couple of days is to work his left hand in the stance a little bit." Per NFL's Next Gen Stats, Sewell has played 4,619 snaps at right tackle and just 647 regular season snaps at left tackle in his NFL career.

Penei Sewell has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Sewell will sit out a meaningless season finale for the Lions after battling various injuries throughout the year. The entire Lions team will be looking to bounce back next season.

Penei Sewell (shoulder) is officially questionable for Thursday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Sewell missed practice some practice this week due to a shoulder injury and is uncertain to play on Thursday night as a result. It looks more likely than not that he will be cleared to play against the Cowboys, but if he isn't, Detroit's offensive line will be significantly weaker as a result.
