GLENDALE, Ariz. – If Detroit is going to bounce back Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, they’re going to have to do so without their defensive captain and leading tackler, linebacker Alex Anzalone.
After suffering a concussion in last week’s loss vs. Tampa Bay, Anzalone was listed as questionable coming into Sunday’s contest and is inactive for the Lions today. Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn said this week he has a lot of confidence in Jack Campbell, Derrick Barnes, Malcolm Rodriguez and the rest of Detroit’s veteran linebacker group to get the job done without Anzalone.
“Well, I’ve said this all along, but I have plenty of trust in that linebacker room,” Glenn said. “Jack has done a good job for us, going from OTAs and training camp, of backing Alex up and being able to make the calls and stand in front of that huddle, so I have no issue with that.
“(Rodriguez) Rigo was a starter for us for quite some time, so I am very comfortable with him…
