Shifts to IR The Lions placed Anzalone (forearm) on injured reserve Monday.
Impact Anzalone played 20 defensive snaps and recorded five total tackles before breaking his forearm in Sunday's blowout win over the Jaguars. This injury is expected to sideline the 30-year-old for 6-to-8 weeks, so his shift to IR comes as no surprise. Anzalone will be now be forced to miss at least the Lions' next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in the Week 16 matchup against the Bears. Expect Jack Campbell to see increased work with the Lions' first-team defense until Anzalone can return.

Suffers broken forearm Anzalone broke his forearm during the Lions' 52-6 win over the Jaguars and will be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Anzalone suffered the injury while assisting on a tackle on running back Travis Etienne in the second quarter of Sunday's win. It's another blow to the Lions' defense, who lost Aidan Hutchinson for the rest of the regular season due to a broken left tibia and fibula in Week 6 against the Cowboys. Given the recovery timeline, Anzalone could return as early as Week 17 against the 49ers on Monday, Dec. 30. Ben Niemann and Trevor Nowaske are candidates to start at linebacker alongside Malcolm Rodriguez and Jack Campbell while Anzalone is sidelined.

Clears concussion protocols Anzalone (concussion) was removed from the Lions' injury report Friday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Anzalone was a full participant for a second practice in a row Friday, clearing concussion protocols as a result. The linebacker is all set to return to the field after missing Detroit's 20-13 win over the Cardinals in Week 3.

Practices in full Thursday Anzalone (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Anzalone was unable to suit up Week 3 against the Cardinals after sustaining a concussion in Week 2 against the Buccaneers.

Anzalone has registered 17 tackles (13 solo) through two regular-season games.

Won't suit up vs. Arizona Anzalone (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Anzalone has been in the league's concussion protocols since the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers. He was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but he hasn't progressed through protocols enough for him to play Sunday and will shift his focus towards being available for Week 4 against the Seahawks on Sept. 30. Malcolm Rodriguez, who saw increased work after Anzalone was injured in Week 2, will start at middle linebacker Sunday alongside Jack Campbell and Derrick Barnes.
SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Deemed questionable for Week 3 Anzalone (concussion) is officially questionable to face the Cardinals on Sunday.
Impact Anzalone suffered a concussion Week 2 versus Tampa Bay and hasn't yet cleared the league's concussion protocol. The linebacker did manage to participate in practice in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday, so there's still a chance he could suit up Sunday. If Anzalone is unable to play, however, Malcolm Rodriguez will likely work as a starter in his stead.

Upgrades to limited Thursday Anzalone (concussion) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice.
Impact Anzalone sustained a concussion during the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers. He was held out of practice Wednesday, but his ability to practice Thursday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- indicates that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocols. Anzalone's status for Week 3 against the Cardinals will be more clear once Friday's injury report is released.
