Detroit Lions injury update: Alex Anzalone out 6-8 weeks with broken forearm

The Detroit Lions were hammering the Jacksonville Jaguars in their Week 11 game, but they may have suffered a big injury right before the end of the first half. As he was trying to make a tackle by the Lions sideline, linebacker Alex Anzalone suffered a friendly-fire shot from Brian Branch and stayed down on the field for several minutes.

UPDATE: According to coach Dan Campbell, Anzalone suffered a broken forearm and will miss six to eight weeks. With seven games remaining in the Lions regular season, it leaves open the possibility he returns for the playoffs.
