Penisini came out of nowhere to lead Lions defensive tackles in snaps in 2020 despite playing through a shoulder condition that later required offseason surgery. While third-round rookie Alim McNeill could take over Penisini's starting role at nose tackle, it would be a surprise if Penisini doesn't at least serve in a key rotational role going forward.
