Detroit Lions 2026 training camp preview: 4 big questions at EDGE
The Detroit Lions are entering training camp with a rebuilt edge rusher room after losing several pass rushers from last season, including productive starter Al-Quadin Muhammad (who signed with Tampa Bay). With All-Pro Aidan Hutchinson locked in on one side, the Lions added DJ Wonnum in free agency, drafted Michigan's Derrick Moore in the second round, and signed free agents Payton Turner and others to compete for snaps on the opposite edge.
The new group represents a subtle shift in philosophy: while the Lions have traditionally favored heavier, more balanced run-stop/pass-rush edge rushers (265-280 pounds), this year's additions are lighter overall but offer more explosive pass-rush potential. Wonnum is expected to start and provide stability early, but second-round pick Moore—who fits a pro-style scheme from Michigan—could see snaps increase quickly and potentially challenge for a starting role by season's end. Turner, a former first-rounder with injury issues, figures as a depth piece and pass-rushing specialist.
