Dan Campbell Confirms Alim McNeill Will Play Week 7 vs. Buccaneers

Detroit will manage the defensive tackle's snaps following a December ACL tear.

Overview

  • Campbell said on 97.1 The Ticket that, barring a setback, McNeill will make his 2025 debut on Monday night.
  • McNeill has practiced since Oct. 1 and logged full sessions the past two weeks as his workload increased.
  • The staff will keep his snap count flexible in his return, with plans adjusted by how he feels during the game.
  • Edge rusher Marcus Davenport remains on injured reserve and is not expected back before the Week 8 bye, with the earliest target cited as Nov. 2 vs. Minnesota.
  • Safety Brian Branch is serving a one-game suspension that the team does not expect to be overturned, further straining a secondary already missing starters.
