Taken off injured reserve Detroit activated Anzalone (forearm) from injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Anzalone was placed on IR on Nov. 18 after breaking his forearm during the Lions' Week 11 blowout win over the Jaguars. He returned to practice Wednesday and logged consecutive full practices to end the week. His activation off IR on Saturday indicates that he is on track to play against the Vikings on Sunday. In the nine games prior to his injury, Anzalone tallied 56 tackles (40 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four pass defenses.

Could return for Week 18 Anzalone (forearm) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Anzalone was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimation, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that there's a realistic chance for the 30-year-old to make his return in the Lions' Week 18 matchup against the Vikings, a game that will decide the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Anzalone's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can suit up Sunday. He would be a significant addition to a Detroit linebacker corps already without Derrick Barnes (knee) and Malcolm Rodriguez (knee)

Injury updates on Aidan Hutchinson, Alex Anzalone offer Lions more postseason hope Injury updates from the NFL Network on Aidan Hutchinson, Alex Anzalone and David Montgomery offer the Lions more postseason hope

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • USATODAY.COM

Expected to return for playoffs Anzalone (forearm) is expected to be available for the Lions for the start of the postseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Anzalone broke his forearm during the Lions' Week 11 win over the Jaguars, which prompted Detroit to place the veteran linebacker on injured reserve Nov. 18. The initial timeline for his return was 6-to-8 weeks, and while it doesn't appear likely that he'll be activated off IR for the Lions' last two games of the regular season, he should be available for Detroit's first playoff game. Jack Campbell will continue to serve as the Lions' starting middle linebacker for as long as Anzalone is sidelined.
