The Detroit Lions re-signed offensive lineman Kayode Awosika on Friday, keeping another top backup in town.

Awosika appeared in 11 games and made two starts for the Lions last season before losing his job as the Lions’ top backup interior lineman to rookie Christian Mahogany.

Mahogany, a sixth-round pick out of Boston College, is in line to start at one guard spot in 2025 after the Lions lost Kevin Zeitler to the Tennessee Titans in free agency. Graham Glasgow, who started 16 games at left guard last season, also is under contract for next season.

The Lions have focused mostly on building depth this offseason, keeping several of their key backups from last year’s 15-2 team and adding just one likely starter – cornerback D.J. Reed – in free agency.

On the offensive line, the Lions also re-signed swing tackle Dan Skipper this offseason.
