Expected back Week 7 McNeill (knee - ACL) is expected to make his regular-season debut versus the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in Week 7, Benjamin Raven of MLive.com reports.

Impact Lions coach Dan Campbell said in an interview with 97.1 The Ticket on Wednesday that "barring something happening this week, [McNeill is] freakin' playing." The standout defensive lineman had his 21-day practice window opened Oct. 1, and he was a full participant at every practice Detroit held Week 6 while working his way back from a right ACL tear suffered last December. Expect him to be officially activated from the reserve/PUP list in advance of Monday's matchup.

Logs full practice Wednesday McNeill (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact McNeill had his 21-day window to be reinstated from the reserve/PUP list opened Oct. 1, but he was not cleared to play against the Bengals in Week 5. He's opened the week with a full practice, and if he can participate without restriction in each of the next two days, he would put himself in good position to make his 2025 debut against the Chiefs on Sunday. The 2021 third-rounder is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL in his right knee that he suffered in December.

OCTOBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Chance to play Week 5 McNeill (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Impact McNeill practiced in a limited capacity all week, and head coach Dan Campbell told reporters Friday that McNeill has a "50/50 chance" of playing Sunday, per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic. If McNeill isn't cleared to return from the reserve/PUP list Sunday, the fifth-year defensive tackle would still be in a good spot to make his 2025 regular-season debut in Week 6 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 12. McNeill finished the 2024 regular season with 25 tackles (17 solo), including 3.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across 14 games.
