The Lions have battled through an assortment of injuries throughout the season but reinforcements may soon be coming on the defensive side. Linebacker Alex Anzalone looks to still be on track to return at some point during the playoffs.

Campbell didn't rule out the possibility that linebacker and captain Alex Anzalone could be ready to return for the team's pivotal Week 18 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football. The winner of the primetime showdown will earn an NFC North title and the NFC's No. 1 seed.

The Detroit Lions are hoping to get one of their key defenders back from injury in linebacker Alex Anzalone, who is working his way back from a broken forearm suffered earlier this season. Head coach Dan Campbell provided an update on Anzalone on Monday.
