Lions inactives: Lions get boost from returning linebackers; Jackson and Walker inactive

Detroit — The Detroit Lions are back to full strength at linebacker with both Alex Anzalone and Jalen Reeves-Maybin active for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Reeves-Maybin returns after a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury, while Anzalone missed most of last week's game against Denver after suffering an ankle sprain in the first half.

Those returns figure to push Josh Woods back to a reduced role after he recorded a career-high 13 tackles against the Broncos.

While the starting linebackers are back in the fold, the Lions will still be without Tracy Walker, who had been activated off the COVID/reserve list on Saturday.
