Lions Linebacker Alex Anzalone Questionable for NFC North-Deciding Game

Anzalone, recovering from a fractured forearm, faces a late decision on his availability for Sunday's critical matchup against the Vikings.

  • Alex Anzalone, a key linebacker and team captain for the Detroit Lions, broke his left forearm during a Week 11 game and has missed six games since.
  • Anzalone returned to practice this week but has expressed uncertainty about trusting the arm's readiness for full-contact play.
  • Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings will determine the NFC North champion, the NFC's No. 1 seed, and a first-round playoff bye, making it a pivotal matchup for both 14-2 teams.
  • Lions head coach Dan Campbell emphasized caution, stating Anzalone will only play if he can perform at a high level without risking further injury.
  • Running back David Montgomery and cornerback Emmanuel Moseley have been ruled out for the game, while running back Craig Reynolds and wide receiver Khalif Raymond are also listed as questionable.
