Alim McNeill

Dan Campbell told reporters he fears DL Alim McNeill suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Lions’ Week 15 loss to the Bills.

The Lions currently have seven defensive linemen on injured reserve and McNeill will evidently be the eighth. The talented three-down player ranks second on the team in both NFL sacks (3.5) and quarterback pressures (44) and fourth in tackles for loss or no gain (four). This is a significant loss for the Super Bowl-hopeful Lions. The 24-year-old defensive lineman is under contract through 2028.
