The Detroit Lions placed starting defensive tackle Alim McNeill on injured reserve Tuesday due to a knee sprain.
He will miss at least the next four games following Sunday's injury but could return in time for the playoffs.
McNeill, 23, is having a strong third season with a career-high five sacks and 31 tackles through 12 starts.
The 2021 third-round draft pick has eight sacks, 111 tackles and 19 quarterback hits in 46 career games (35 starts).
Detroit signed veteran defensive tackle Tyson Alualu to the practice squad on Tuesday to help fill the void.
