The Lions moved Penei Sewell from right tackle to left tackle during the offseason, and the three-time first-team AP All-Pro has adapted to the change.
Head coach Dan Campbell praised the transition, calling the switch "outstanding." Campbell described Sewell as an "ascending player" who looks even more smooth at left tackle than he did on the right. The coach noted that Sewell found another little gear in his stance, anchor, punch and run blocking.
Campbell said Sewell can play either tackle spot and that the team moved him around intentionally.
The Lions are tied for the league lead with 32.8 points per game and rank No. 4 in yards per game at 393.8. With a 3-2 record, they will host the Packers (4-2), a division rival, on Sunday afternoon.
