Anzalone (concussion) was removed from the Lions' injury report Friday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports. Anzalone was a full participant for a second practice in a row Friday, clearing concussion protocols as a result. The linebacker is all set to return to the field after missing Detroit's 20-13 win over the Cardinals in Week 3.
Anzalone (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Anzalone was unable to suit up Week 3 against the Cardinals after sustaining a concussion in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. His full participation in Thursday's practice indicates Anzalone is trending towards returning for Monday's game against the Seahawks. Anzalone has registered 17 tackles (13 solo) through two regular-season games.
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.
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.
