Ngata remains on the active roster and can come off the NFI list at any time before the season. The Lions opened camp on Monday.

The Lions acquired the 31-year-old Ngata from the Baltimore Ravens in March -- ostensibly to replace departed star Ndamukong Suh.

The five-time Pro Bowl player had spent his entire nine-year career with the Ravens. Last season, after being suspended for the final four games for violating the league policy on performance-enhancing drugs, the defensive tackle returned to collect 32 tackles, two sacks and two interceptions.

A first-round draft pick by the Ravens in 2006, Ngata totaled 528 tackles, 25 1/2 sacks and five interceptions for Baltimore.
