Alex Anzalone Active for Lions’ Sunday Night Showdown Against Vikings

In a surprising turn of events, linebacker Alex Anzalone has been declared active for the Detroit Lions’ Sunday Night Football matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, despite facing injury concerns leading up to the game. Coach Dan Campbell confirmed this last-minute update, highlighting Anzalone’s importance to the team’s defensive line-up. “We were hopeful, but we didn’t want to commit until we saw him moving around today,” said Campbell. Anzalone’s presence is crucial as the Lions aim to secure a victory against their division rivals.
