Okwara racked up just one sack over four games in 2021 before going down for the year with a torn Achilles. While he is not expected to be back in the pass-rush rotation until midseason, Okwara should immensely benefit from returning to his natural spot at defensive end after playing at outside linebacker in Detroit's old 3-4 defensive scheme.
