DETROIT (AP) — Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone broke his left forearm Sunday and is expected to miss six to eight weeks, another blow to a defense that has been hit hard by injuries. Anzalone had three solo tackles and assisted on two stops during Detroit's 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He 56 tackles this season, ranking third on the team after leading the team in tackles in each of the last two seasons.
The NFC-leading Lions have lost a lot of players on defense, including star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson, who had 7 1/2 sacks before he broke his leg last month. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL.
