Lions' Alim McNeill: Placed on IR
The Lions placed McNeill (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
As expected, McNeill will be on the Lions' injured reserve for the rest of the 2024 campaign after he tore the ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills. With McNeill sidelined, Levi Onwuzurike is slated to move into the second starting defensive tackle role alongside DJ Reader.

Lions' Alim McNeill: Tears ACL
McNeill sustained a torn ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills and will require season-ending surgery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
An already decimated Detroit defense suffered more personnel losses coming out of the Week 15 loss, as McNeil and cornerbacks Carlton Davis (Jaw) and Khalil Dorsey (ankle) all emerged from the contest with season-ending injuries. McNeill, a valued run stuffer who signed a four-year, $97 million contract extension in October, will finish the campaign with 25 tackles, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble over 14 appearances. Levi Onwuzurike is likely to move into a starting role at defensive tackle next to DJ Reader in place of McNeill, whose recovery from knee surgery could extend into the start of the 2025 season.

Lions' Alim McNeill: Injury believed to be serious
Speaking after Sunday's loss to the Bills, coach Dan Campbell said he doesn't feel good about the chances of McNeill (knee) playing again this season, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
It's yet another potentially serious injury for the Detroit defense, as McNeill was injured in the third quarter Sunday and ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly after. Levi Onwuzurike is next up for snaps on the interior of the Lions' defensive line, a unit that has already lost seven players to injured reserve. Detroit's offense may have to turn things up a couple notches the rest of the way in order to make up for all of the injuries on the defensive side of the ball.

Lions' Alim McNeill: Suffers knee injury Week 15
McNeill has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Buffalo due to a knee issue.
McNeill was injured midway through the third quarter and was ruled out a few minutes before the end of the period. Prior to his exit, the defensive lineman tallied one tackle. Levi Onwuzurike could be in line for a bigger workload in McNeill's absence.

Lions' Alim McNeill: Clears protocol
McNeill (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.
McNeill practiced in full all week after sustaining a concussion in the Lions' Week 14 win over the Packers, and his omission from Friday's injury report indicates he has cleared the NFL's five-step protocol. With McNeill and DJ Reader both at full health, they're expected to cause problems for the Bills' interior run game in Week 15.

Lions' Alim McNeill: Records full practice Wednesday
McNeill (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
McNeill left last Thursday's win over the Packers early due to a concussion, but the extended time off between that game and the start of this week's practice schedule appears to have given him ample time to recover. Nonetheless, McNeill will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday against the Bills.

Lions' Alim McNeill: Being evaluated for concussion
McNeill (head) left in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Packers and is being evaluated for a concussion, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
McNeill was forced to leave Thursday's game after taking a hit to the head while making a tackle on Josh Jacobs during the Packers' first offensive drive. The Lions are already without DJ Reader (shoulder), Levi Onwuzurike (hamstring) and Josh Paschal (knee) for Thursday's game, so Brodric Martin should see more snaps at defensive tackle for as long as McNeill is sidelined.
