Alex Anzalone broken arm?

Ugh. Just read he was mouthing ‘Its broke’ holding his arm as he went to the locker room

As good as this defense is how many injuries can we endure?

He’ll be fine. Rest a couple weeks and play with a massive club. If he’s IR’d, it’ll only be because it’s convenient given the number of players coming back (Mosely, Iffy, BroMart).

He WILL be here down the stretch and for the playoff run.

If it’s a broken forearm I doubt he’s back for the playoffs. If it’s a 3 month recovery that puts us into the third week of the postseason.

In short, this is bad news.

Btw most NFL players with a broken forearm return after 8 weeks. That would be ideal, but no guarantee.

Glad we got Rodrigo back at least.

Glad the Dline is playing so well. Makes the LB job easier. Let’s hope Campbell stays healthy

People may brush it off but that’s a massive loss. He’s a huge piece of this defense.

The Lions will be fine.

It will be a loss no doubt but massive is a reach. The Lions lost a potential DPoY and they’ve still been humming along. The Lions also have depth at LB so they can withstand this loss, his leadership will be missed but the Lions are full of leaders.

He’ll be back for the playoffs by the sounds of it.

He’s missed only 5 games in the past 4.5 seasons.

Time for Captain Jack to step up, that’s why they drafted him…to be the next analzone

I said in the game thread that if at all possible Anzalone will be back out there with a club. I’m sticking with that. The severity of the fracture could make that impossible, but if the docs tell him he’ll have to play with one arm he’ll say that means he can play.

Also, it hasnt been officially announced that it’s broke…so let’s cool our analzones a bit until confirmed.

True, but they ruled him ‘out’ pretty quickly. I’d be surprised if it weren’t

Well they play different positions… It’s Rodrigo who needs to step up. He’s gonna be full time starter now for several weeks.
