The Detroit Lions announced a few roster moves on Monday morning in the wake of a couple of new injuries.
After breaking his forearm against the Jacksonville Jaguars, linebacker Alex Anzalone has been placed on injured reserve. He’ll miss a minimum of four games, but according to coach Dan Campbell, Anzalone is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks.
In order to help Detroit’s thin linebacker room, the Lions also announced they have signed David Long. Long is a former sixth-round pick for the Tennessee Titans. In his first three years in the league, he was mostly a special teams player, but he became a full-time starter for the Titans in his final season.
