Anzalone (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
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.
