Lions' Alex Anzalone: Shifts to IR
The Lions placed Anzalone (forearm) on injured reserve Monday.
Anzalone played 20 defensive snaps and recorded five total tackles before breaking his forearm in Sunday's blowout win over the Jaguars. This injury is expected to sideline the 30-year-old for 6-to-8 weeks, so his shift to IR comes as no surprise. Anzalone will be now be forced to miss at least the Lions' next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in the Week 16 matchup against the Bears. Expect Jack Campbell to see increased work with the Lions' first-team defense until Anzalone can return.

Lions' Alex Anzalone: Suffers broken forearm
Anzalone broke his forearm during the Lions' 52-6 win over the Jaguars and will be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Anzalone suffered the injury while assisting on a tackle on running back Travis Etienne in the second quarter of Sunday's win. It's another blow to the Lions' defense, which lost Aidan Hutchinson for the rest of the regular season due to a broken left tibia and fibula in Week 6 against the Cowboys. Given the recovery timeline, Anzalone could return as early as Week 17 against the 49ers on Monday, Dec. 30. Ben Niemann and Trevor Nowaske are candidates to start at linebacker alongside Malcolm Rodriguez and Jack Campbell while Anzalone is sidelined.
