The only thing wrong with the Detroit Lions in their 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday was the injury bug once again biting the Lions' defense. Starting linebacker and defensive captain Alex Anzalone left the game in the first half with what It turned out to be a broken forearm.
According to head coach Dan Campbell after the game, the lucky linebacker is expected to miss six to eight weeks. Anzalone received a ton of “get well soon” comments on social media, and No. 34 kindly addressed this in a post of his own:
Thank you everyone for the good wishes! As an athlete, you often ask yourself, “Why did that have to happen?” But I like to think of all the countless repetitions where nothing bad happened. I am beyond blessed! I'll be back in no time, fresh legs and everything
