  • Lions' Alex Anzalone: Clears concussion protocols

    Anzalone (concussion) was removed from the Lions' injury report Friday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    Anzalone was a full participant for a second practice in a row Friday, clearing concussion protocols as a result. The linebacker is all set to return to the field after missing Detroit's 20-13 win over the Cardinals in Week 3.

  • Lions' Alex Anzalone: Practices in full Thursday

    Anzalone (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Anzalone was unable to suit up Week 3 against the Cardinals after sustaining a concussion in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. His full participation in Thursday's practice indicates Anzalone is trending towards returning for Monday's game against the Seahawks. Anzalone has registered 17 tackles (13 solo) through two regular-season games.

  • Lions' Alex Anzalone: Won't suit up vs. Arizona

    Anzalone (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Anzalone has been in the league's concussion protocols since the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers. He was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but he hasn't progressed through protocols enough for him to play Sunday and will shift his focus towards being available for Week 4 against the Seahawks on Sept. 30. Malcolm Rodriguez, who saw increased work after Anzalone was injured in Week 2, will start at middle linebacker Sunday alongside Jack Campbell and Derrick Barnes.

  • Lions' Alex Anzalone: Deemed questionable for Week 3

    Anzalone (concussion) is officially questionable to face the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Anzalone suffered a concussion Week 2 versus Tampa Bay and hasn't yet cleared the league's concussion protocol. The linebacker did manage to participate in practice in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday, so there's still a chance he could suit up Sunday. If Anzalone is unable to play, however, Malcolm Rodriguez likely will work as a starter in his stead.

  • Lions' Alex Anzalone: Upgrades to limited Thursday

    Anzalone (concussion) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice.

    Anzalone sustained a concussion during the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers. He was held out of practice Wednesday, but his ability to practice Thursday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- indicates that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocols. Anzalone's status for Week 3 against the Cardinals will be more clear once Friday's injury report is released.

  • Lions' Alex Anzalone: Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Anzalone (concussion) missed Wednesday's practice.

    Detroit's top inside linebacker has still yet to clear protocol after sustaining a concussion during the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers. He could be a long shot to suit up in Week 3 unless he's able to log at least limited participation in practice either Thursday or Friday.

  • Lions' Alex Anzalone: Downgraded to out

    Anzalone (head) has been downgraded to out Sunday after being evaluated for a concussion.

  • Lions' Alex Anzalone: Busy in Week 1

    Anzalone recorded 13 total tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win against the Rams.

    Anzalone was a tackling machine in Week 1, leading Detroit's defense with 13 stops, three of which were for a loss. The middle linebacker played all 78 defensive snaps, joining safety Brian Branch as the only other player to do so. Anzalone is coming off of a 2023 campaign in which he compiled a career-high 129 tackles over 16 regular-season games, and he appears to have picked up where he left off to open 2024.

  • Lions' Alex Anzalone: Career year in 2023

    Anzalone recorded 129 tackles with 3.0 sacks and six passes defended over 16 regular-season games in 2023.

    While a fringe top-24 linebacker in IDP formats, Anzalone recorded career highs in tackles, solo tackles (85) and sacks as one of the most important pieces of a Detroit defense that made huge improvements in run defense. One year after finishing bottom four in rushing yards allowed per carry and per game, this unit finished top three in each of those categories and top two in runs of 10-plus yards allowed (36) and runs of 20-plus yards allowed (five). With Aidan Hutchinson and Alim McNeill also under contract in 2024, the key pieces are in place for both Anzalone and the Lions' run defense to remain productive in 2024.

  • Lions' Alex Anzalone: Remains limited Thursday

    Anzalone (shoulder/ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Anzalone has now began the Lions' week of practice with two consecutive limited sessions (Wednesday was a walkthrough) as he continues to battle three fractured ribs and a sprained AC joint in his shoulder. The 29-year-old linebacker will likely carry an injury designation into the NFC Championship Game unless he can practice in full Friday.

  • Lions' Alex Anzalone: Limited in walkthrough Wednesday

    Anzalone (ribs/shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

    Anzalone was limited Wednesday as he continues to play through fractured ribs as well as a sprained AC joint in his shoulder. The 2017 third-round pick should be good to go for Sunday's NFC Championship Game matchup with the 49ers, provided he advances to full practice participation Thursday and/or Friday.

  • Lions' Alex Anzalone: Playing through injuries

    Anzalone played through a sprained AC joint in his shoulder and three fractured ribs during Sunday's divisional-round win over the Buccaneers, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Anzalone actually suffered the rib injury during Detroit's Week 18 win over the Vikings and has been playing through it for each of the team's playoff wins this season. The veteran linebacker will likely appear on the team's injury report throughout the week, but considering he's managed to play through the pain, it's unlikely he would stop now. Anzalone should suit up against the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game this Sunday.
