Alim McNeill - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Ready for training camp McNeill passed his conditioning test and is participating in training camp, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact McNeill ended the 2025 season with an abdominal issue that caused him to miss the final game of the regular season. The starting defensive tackle missed several games to start the season due to a torn ACL as well. If the 26-year-old can maintain his current health throughout the 2026 season, the Lions' defensive line should be able to generate more consistent interior pressure.

Ruled out for Sunday McNeill (abdomen) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact McNeill was unable to practice at all this week due to the abdominal injury he sustained in the Christmas Day loss to the Vikings. Tyleik Williams and Roy Lopez are likely in line for an increased snapshare on the defensive line in the starting defensive tackle's absence. McNeill will end his 2025 campaign with 14 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defensed through 10 games.

Impact McNeill suffered an injury to his abdomen on Christmas Day against Minnesota. A DNP to begin Week 18 prep puts his status for Sunday's matchup against Chicago in question. If McNeill can't play Week 18, Tyleik Williams and/or Roy Lopez would figure to be in line for more defensive snaps.

Questionable to return McNeill (abdomen) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Impact McNeill was initially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest due to an abdomen issue, and although he was initially cleared to play, it appears that the same injury is now preventing the defensive lineman from retaking the field. Tyleik Williams and Roy Lopez will be candidates to handle increased defensive snaps as long as McNeill remains sidelined.

Cleared to play Christmas Day McNeill (abdomen) is active for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Impact McNeill was limited in practice this week due to an abdominal injury, but the fifth-year pro has been cleared to play Thursday. He has accumulated 14 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble through nine regular-season games.

Questionable to face Minnesota McNeill (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Impact McNeill was limited in all three walkthrough practices due to an abdominal injury, and his status for Christmas Day will be official approximately 90 minutes prior to the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff, when Detroit announces its list of inactive players. Roy Lopez and Tyleik Williams would be in line for more snaps at defensive tackle alongside DJ Reader if McNeill is unable to play.

Working through abdominal injury McNeill (abdomen) was a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice.

Impact McNeill played 56 of 74 defensive snaps (76.7 percent) and logged two tackles (one solo) during the Lions' 29-24 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. He appears to have come out of that game with an injury, though his ability to practice in a limited capacity Monday indicates that the issue isn't considered serious. McNeill will have two more chances to increase his practice participation heading into the Lions' Christmas Day tilt against the Vikings on Thursday.
