On Wednesday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell spoke about the big news from Tuesday: defensive tackle Alim McNeill has been placed on injured reserve after reportedly spraining his knee against the New Orleans Saints.
“Losing Mac for these four weeks is going to be tough,” Campbell said. “He’s been a reliable, steady, productive player for us. He’s really come into his own this year. He’s just grown every year, but this year, he was big. He was a force for us. Guys got a lot of respect for him, so that hurts.
