Lions lose LB Alex Anzalone for the season with shoulder injury

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions will have to navigate the remaining three games of the 2021 season without the quarterback of their defense.

On Monday, coach Dan Campbell confirmed the shoulder injury middle linebacker Alex Anzalone suffered in the first half of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals is a season-ender.

Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone will miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.

"That's a tough deal," Campbell said. "He got the shoulder (injury), but we don't believe this is some long-term issue. But we know with three games left, that will probably knock him out for this season."

Anzalone had been a workhorse for the Lions this season.
