Dan Campbell expects Lions' Alim McNeill to make his season debut in Week 7
"After a loss to the Chiefs in Week 6, the Lions are 4-2. They are second in the NFC North through six games. That's because the Packers are 3-1-1 and have already had their bye week. In Week 7, the Lions will be at home to face the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. On Wednesday morning, Lions' head coach Dan Campbell was on a local Detroit sports radio show."
"During his 2024 campaign with the Lions, Alim McNeill played and started in 14 games. Against the Bills in Week 15, McNeill suffered a season-ending ACL tear. In late December 2024, McNeill had surgery on his knee. To begin the 2025 season, Alim McNeill was on the injured reserve. He was out at least the first four games of the year. Two weeks ago, the Lions opened McNeill's 21-day practice window."
"If the 25-year-old cannot make it back in those three weeks, he will miss the entire 2025 season. However, that is not something Lions fans have to sweat. Recently, head coach Dan Campbell made his weekly appearance on 97.1 The Ticket. Campbell shared a positive injury update and said that DT Alim McNeill is on track to play in Week 7."
The Detroit Lions are 4-2 and sit second in the NFC North through six games. The Packers are 3-1-1 and have already used their bye week. The Lions will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in Week 7. Starting defensive tackle Alim McNeill, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 15 of 2024 and underwent knee surgery in late December, began the 2025 season on injured reserve. The Lions opened McNeill's 21-day practice window two weeks ago, and head coach Dan Campbell said McNeill is on track to play in Week 7. McNeill has played 61 games with 50 starts since being drafted in 2021.
