James Houston is a prime candidate to be a Breakout Player for the Lions in the 2023 season. Houston has already made a huge positive impact as a outside speed pass rusher. If Houston adds bulk strength without sacrificing a significant amount of speed and quickness, adds more pass rush moves, improves vs. the run, and contributes more in pass coverage, sky is the limit for him.

The loss of James Houston for much of the season is a huge setback for Houston and the Lions. The injury to Houston illustrates why it made sense NOT to expose Julian Okwara to waivers. Hopefully, Houston will make a full recovery and that Julian Okwara will be cleared for practice as soon as he's eligible after Game # 4.
The loss of Houston during yesterday's game easily could have been the difference in the outcome of the game.
