Discussion: Do the Detroit Lions need Alex Anzalone to play vs. Vikings

The Detroit Lions have mostly hid their intentions about the status for linebacker Alex Anzalone this week. The veteran linebacker returned to practice this week after suffering a broken forearm in Week 11, but it’s unclear if the Lions would play him in such a short period of time. He is officially listed as questionable to play.

As coach Dan Campbell said on Friday, they typically like to get players a week of practice to prepare for the following week.

“What we really like to do is get these guys worked in before you throw them into the fire,” Campbell said.
