Now, there is hope that it\u00a0could soon welcome back one of its key pieces, linebacker Alex Anzalone, who has been sidelined since breaking his left forearm in a Week 11 victory over Jacksonville.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cHe\u2019ll be out there running around today,\u201d head coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday. \u201cSo, we\u2019ll see how he does.

Six defensive starters have landed on injured reserve since the beginning of the season, including star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson.
