Lions' Alex Anzalone: Won't suit up vs. Arizona
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.

Lions' Alex Anzalone: Deemed questionable for Week 3
Anzalone (concussion) is officially questionable to face the Cardinals on Sunday.
Anzalone suffered a concussion Week 2 versus Tampa Bay and hasn't yet cleared the league's concussion protocol. The linebacker did manage to participate in practice in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday, so there's still a chance he could suit up Sunday. If Anzalone is unable to play, however, Malcolm Rodriguez likely will work as a starter in his stead.

Lions' Alex Anzalone: Career year in 2023
Anzalone recorded 129 tackles with 3.0 sacks and six passes defended over 16 regular-season games in 2023.
While a fringe top-24 linebacker in IDP formats, Anzalone recorded career highs in tackles, solo tackles (85) and sacks as one of the most important pieces of a Detroit defense that made huge improvements in run defense. One year after finishing bottom four in rushing yards allowed per carry and per game, this unit finished top three in each of those categories and top two in runs of 10-plus yards allowed (36) and runs of 20-plus yards allowed (five). With Aidan Hutchinson and Alim McNeill also under contract in 2024, the key pieces are in place for both Anzalone and the Lions' run defense to remain productive in 2024.
