\"Lions<\/p>\n

Detroit Lions linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez is out for the season with a torn ACL suffered in Thursday\u2019s 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n

The Lions have been devastated by injuries on defense. Rodriguez will be the fourth linebacker to hit injured reserve with a major injury in 2024 and Detroit is also without star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson.<\/p>\n

Derrick Barnes injured a knee in Week 3, when Rodriguez became a key part of the LB corps, and Alex Anzalone suffered a broken forearm in Week 11, pushing Rodriguez into a featured role in Detroit\u2019s defense. Jalen Reeves-Maybin (neck) is also on IR.<\/p>\n

Ezekiel Turner and Ben Niemann are options to join Jack Campbell in the starting lineup.<\/p>\n

Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn said the Lions have a room full of linebackers who deserve a shot on game day. That opportunity is now for what Glenn labeled his \u201cnext guy\u201d when the Lions (11-1) host the Green Bay Packers (9-3) in a critical NFC North game next Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll those guys have played, all those guys deserve to play, and each week we try to put them in packages so they can play,\u201d Glenn said.<\/p>\n

Defensive ends Marcus Davenport and John Cominsky are also on IR.<\/p>\n

Anzalone could return for the playoffs or late in the regular season.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez, 25, was a sixth-round pick in 2022. He had 27 tackles and two sacks in 10 games (six starts) this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
