Alex Anzalone OUT for Week 3
The Detroit Lions have announced their inactives ahead of the Week 3 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Notably, Alex Anzalone has been unable to clear the NFL's concussion protocol and will be missing this crucial game.
Depth at Linebacker
The Lions have significant depth at the linebacker position, with six players on the roster. They will rely on Jack Campbell (MIKE), Malcolm Rodriguez (WILL), Derrick Barnes (SAM), and Jalen Reeves-Maybin during game day. Coach Dan Campbell expressed his confidence in this group, highlighting Campbell's growth in backing up Anzalone and being able to lead the huddle.
- Jack Campbell has shown promise throughout training.
- Rodriguez was a former starter, adding reliable depth.
- Reeves-Maybin is ready to step up in coverage situations.
With the season's progress, the return of Marcus Davenport prompted James Houston to become a healthy scratch. Although there were no roster transactions this week, the Lions elevated wide receivers Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson, bringing the game-day roster to 55 players. This expansion also allows them to declare seven players inactive for this matchup.
