Detroit Lions linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez is officially back on the practice field, nearly a year after suffering a torn ACL on Thanksgiving last season. The former Oklahoma State standout began the 2025 regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list as he worked his way back from the injury, but the Lions opened his 21-day practice window this week — signaling his return is near.
According to Jordan Schultz, Detroit expects Rodriguez to take his full window before making his 2025 season debut in Week 11 on Sunday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles.
