Notches sack in close win Okwara registered four total tackles, including one sack during the Lions' 30-27 win against Washington on Sunday.
Impact The Notre Dame standout continues to find ways to disrupt the passer, now having recorded five sacks and 11 QB hits since Week 4. Okwara has three times as many sacks on the season as Detroit's No. 2 leading pass-rusher, Trey Flowers, with a Week 11 matchup against the Panthers approaching. An MRI on Carolina QB Teddy Bridgewater's knee revealed an MCL sprain after he was forced to exit Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay, presenting a chance for him to potentially face the Lions. Bridgewater has avoided a major injury seemingly, but if he can't play against Detroit, Okwara would have an opportunity to tee off on backup P.J. Walker.

Tacks on two sacks Okwara made three solo tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Falcons.
Impact Okwara continues to make key plays for the Lions, as he strip-sacked Matt Ryan last in the fourth quarter, setting up a go-ahead field goal for the Lions just a couple of minutes later. The Notre Dame product now has four sacks and 10 quarterback pressures this season, and he's handled at least 50 percent of the defensive workload in five straight games. He'll look to keep it rolling Week 8 against the Colts, but he'll have a tougher matchup because Philip Rivers has been sacked on just 2.5 percent of dropbacks.
