Detroit Lions guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai is moving past his foot injury.
He is also moving past his underwhelming first season with the Lions, after former general manager Bob Quinn signed him to a five-year, $50 million contract in March 2020. Vaitai was supposed to play right tackle, but after missing the first two games of the season, he ended up at right guard.
He'll likely stay there this season, too.
"At guard everything happens quicker," Vaitai, 28, said Friday. "I don't kick as much. Got help on both sides. I've got the center, the right tackle.
