The Lions released Onwuzurike on Friday.
Onwuzurike made the Lions' initial 53-man roster following training camp, but he'll now enter free agency after being cut by the team that selected him in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He last saw regular-season action in 2024, having missed all of last season due to a torn ACL, but Onwuzurike should garner interest from teams looking to solidify their depth on the defensive line.
