The Lions don’t expect to have linebacker Alex Anzalone on Sunday.
Anzalone’s hand injury kept him out of practice all week, and he received a doubtful designation.
Despite the Lions coming off a mini-bye, having last played on Thanksgiving Day, it appears Anzalone will need at least one more week. This season, only two NFL players who received a doubtful designation played.
He has totaled 87 tackles, three sacks and five passes defensed in 11 games this season.
The Lions did not activate quarterback Hendon Hooker from the reserve/non-football injury list. The team opened his 21-day practice window this week as he works his way back from an ACL tear last season at the University of Tennessee.
The Lions list offensive lineman Jonah Jackson (ankle/wrist) as questionable. He had full practices Thursday and Friday.
