Allen Park — Prior to adding any outside pieces, the Detroit Lions continued to focus their attention on bringing back several players from last year's team. On Monday, the Lions announced the re-signing of three more, a group headlined by linebacker Alex Anzalone.
Anzalone originally signed with the Lions last offseason, following coach Dan Campbell and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn from New Orleans.
Anzalone ended up suffering a season-ending shoulder injury late in the year, costing him the final three games. Shoulder injuries have been an issue for him, previously costing him time both at the University of Florida and with the Saints.
