Lions star DL injures knee against Bills

The Detroit Lions lost star defensive player Alim McNeill to an injury at the end of the third quarter on Sunday afternoon against the Buffalo Bills at Ford Field in the biggest game of Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season.

It was the second game in a row that McNeill has left the Lions’ game, and that’s the worst-case scenario for an already struggling defense.

CURRENT INJURY:Lions injury update: Carlton Davis III is out; Khalil Dorsey was transported; McNeill leaves

McNeill was injured on the Bills’ third-and-long play in the third quarter after helping put some pressure on quarterback Josh Allen. McNeill immediately appeared to be in pain and limped to the sideline with the help of trainers. The dominant defensive tackle appeared extremely frustrated and almost slammed his helmet.

He sat on the bench while trainers examined his right leg. Just minutes after the elimination, McNeill was sidelined with a knee injury, the team announced on social media.

McNeill had to leave last week’s game against the Green Bay Packers with a head injury, but with a little extra rest he was able to recover in time to return against the Bills.

The Lions were actually relatively healthy at the start of the game, but that quickly evaporated in just one afternoon.

Cornerback Khalil Dorsey had to be evacuated and was reportedly taken to a local hospital with a serious leg injury, and Carlton Davis III left the first half with a jaw injury and was sidelined with a concussion.
