"The song was appropriate because one of Detroit's top defenders -- starting defensive tackle Alim McNeill -- had returned to the practice field for the first time since tearing the ACL in his right knee in December. "(The song) was very good. I didn't expect it to happen but that was a good little touch. I liked that," McNeill said."
"The Lions have officially started McNeill's 21-day practice window on Wednesday, and they're hoping he'll be ready ahead of their bye week in Week 8, but coach Dan Campbell and the training staff are being smart with his injury. Detroit, which made McNeill a limited participant in practice this week, won't rush him back and it's unlikely he'll play on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals ( 4:25 p.m. ET, Fox)."
Alim McNeill returned to Detroit Lions practice for the first time since tearing the ACL in his right knee in December. The team opened his 21-day practice window and listed him as a limited participant while coaches and medical staff prioritize a cautious approach. Detroit hopes McNeill can be ready before its Week 8 bye, but it is unlikely he will play in the upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Rookie Tyleik Williams has started the first four games at defensive tackle with veteran DJ Reader alongside him. Kelvin Sheppard expects McNeill to significantly help the defense when available.
