In a concerning turn of events during the third quarter of today’s matchup between the Detroit Lions and the Buffalo Bills, defensive tackle Alim McNeill suffered a knee injury. After a Bills punt, McNeill was slow to get up and was visibly upset as he walked off the field, with the medical staff guiding him to the blue tent for further evaluation.
McNeill, widely regarded as one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL, has been a key player for the Lions' defensive line this season. The Lions, who have already dealt with a series of injuries on the defensive side of the ball in 2024, can ill afford to lose McNeill for any significant period of time.
As of now, there are no further details on the nature of his injury, but the team and fans will be anxiously awaiting updates. Stay tuned for more information on McNeill’s status as the Lions look to navigate this challenging stretch of the season.
