News

  • Placed on IR

    The Lions placed McNeill (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: As expected, McNeill will be on the Lions' injured reserve for the rest of the 2024 campaign after he tore the ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills. With McNeill sidelined, Levi Onwuzurike is slated to move into the second starting defensive tackle role alongside DJ Reader.

  • Tears ACL

    McNeill sustained a torn ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills and will require season-ending surgery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: An already decimated Detroit defense suffered more personnel losses coming out of the Week 15 loss, as McNeil and cornerbacks Carlton Davis (Jaw) and Khalil Dorsey (ankle) all emerged from the contest with season-ending injuries. McNeill, a valued run stuffer who signed a four-year, $97 million contract extension in October, will finish the campaign with 25 tackles, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble over 14 appearances. Levi Onwuzurike is likely to move into a starting role at defensive tackle…read more

  • Injury believed to be serious

    Speaking after Sunday's loss to the Bills, coach Dan Campbell said he doesn't feel good about the chances of McNeill (knee) playing again this season, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: It's yet another potentially serious injury for the Detroit defense, as McNeill was injured in the third quarter Sunday and ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly after. Levi Onwuzurike is next up for snaps on the interior of the Lions' defensive line, a unit that has already lost seven players to injured reserve. Detroit's offense may have to turn things up a couple notches the rest of the way in order to make up for all of the injuries on the defensive side of the ball.

  • Suffers knee injury Week 15

    McNeill has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Buffalo due to a knee issue.

    Analysis: McNeill was injured midway through the third quarter and was ruled out a few minutes before the end of the period. Prior to his exit, the defensive lineman tallied one tackle. Levi Onwuzurike could be in line for a bigger workload in McNeill's absence.

  • Clears protocol

    McNeill (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

    Analysis: McNeill practiced in full all week after sustaining a concussion in the Lions' Week 14 win over the Packers, and his omission from Friday's injury report indicates he has cleared the NFL's five-step protocol. With McNeill and DJ Reader both at full health, they're expected to cause problems for the Bills' interior run game in Week 15.

  • Records full practice Wednesday

    McNeill (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: McNeill left last Thursday's win over the Packers early due to a concussion, but the extended time off between that game and the start of this week's practice schedule appears to have given him ample time to recover. Nonetheless, McNeill will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday against the Bills.

  • Done for rest of Thursday night

    McNeill (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's contest versus the Packers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: McNeill returned to the game in the first half after suffering a head injury early in the contest, but he was ruled out following halftime. In his absence, Brodric Martin and Myles Adams will handle the majority of the work at defensive tackle.

  • Returns to TNF

    McNeill (head) returned to the field Thursday night versus the Packers, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: McNeill briefly exited the game in the first half to be evaluated for a concussion, ultimately returning to the field. With DJ Reader (shoulder) sidelined, McNeill will continue to operate as the top option on the interior defensive line against Green Bay.

  • Being evaluated for concussion

    McNeill (head) left in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Packers and is being evaluated for a concussion, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McNeill was forced to leave Thursday's game after taking a hit to the head while making a tackle on Josh Jacobs during the Packers' first offensive drive. The Lions are already without DJ Reader (shoulder), Levi Onwuzurike (hamstring) and Josh Paschal (knee) for Thursday's game, so Brodric Martin should see more snaps at defensive tackle for as long as McNeill is sidelined.

  • Lands four-year extension

    The Lions signed McNeill to a four-year contract extension Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: A third-round pick by the Lions in the 2021 NFL Draft, McNeill was in the final year of his rookie deal but will now spend the foreseeable future in Detroit. McNeill has started 41 of the 52 games he's appeared in with the Lions, logging 120 tackles (54 solo), including 10.5 sacks, 24 QB hits and one forced fumble. Playing 63 percent of the defensive snaps through five games to open the 2024 season, McNeill has eight tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, four QB hits and one pass…read more

    Analysis: McNeill got to Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott twice in Detroit's blowout victory, recording a sack in both the second quarter and fourth quarter. It was the second straight game in which the defensive lineman was able to get to the opposing quarterback. and he's now halfway to the career-high 5.0 sacks he set last season. Through five games in 2024, McNeill has now compiled eight total tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, while also registering a pass defensed.

  • Full go at practice

    McNeill (shoulder) was a full participant at the Lions' practice Friday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: McNeill left the team's 20-13 win over the Cardinals in Week 3 with a shoulder injury, but he appears to be a full go ahead of Monday's matchup with the Seahawks. The defensive lineman has recorded two solo tackles through three games this year.

  • Day-to-day with shoulder issue

    McNeil is considered day-to-day after leaving Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals with a shoulder injury, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: McNeil's practice participation throughout the week will provide a better indication of his possible availability for Week 4, when the Lions face the Seahawks on Monday. The defensive tackle has recorded two tackles through the Lions' first three games.

  • Leaves with shoulder injury

    McNeill exited Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return.

    Analysis: McNeill didn't record anything on the stat sheet prior to leaving the game. The Lions have been dealing with injuries all over the defense Sunday, having already lost Derrick Barnes to a knee injury. DJ Reader and Levi Onwuzurike will have to take on more of the snap load up front for Detroit while McNeill is out.

  • Totals 5.0 sacks in 2023

    McNeill logged 32 tackles, 5.0 sacks, one pass breakup and one forced fumble over 13 regular-season games in 2023.

    Analysis: McNeill consistently looked like one of the best players on a Detroit defense that made huge improvements in run defense between 2022 and 2023. Finishing among the top-20 defensive tackles in sacks, McNeill's contributions as a pass rusher were also important for a unit that is struggling to find a complement to star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson. With each of McNeill and Hutchinson under contract in 2024 alongside a strong group of linebackers, the Lions defense, at a minimum, is returning…read more

  • Good to go

    McNeil (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: McNeill was activated off injured reserve Saturday and subsequently labeled as questionable for the regular season finale. He has not played since Week 13. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role on Detroit's interior defensive line.

  • Activated from IR

    McNeill (knee) was activated from the Lions' injured reserve list Saturday.

    Analysis: He's still listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Vikings after practicing in a limited capacity all week.

  • Questionable for Sunday vs. Vikes

    McNeill (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

    Analysis: McNeill was a limited participant at practice all week, so his availability for Week 18 seems close to a coin-flip proposition. If he can't play Sunday, it will probably mean more snaps for rookie third-rounder Brodric Martin.

  • Back at practice Wednesday

    McNeill (knee) participated at practice Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

  • Moves to IR

    McNeill (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: McNeill's move to IR is a bit surprising, as head coach Dan Campbell only referred to the NC State product as, "a little banged up," after Sunday's win over the Saints. However, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, McNeill suffered a sprained knee in the contest. The 23-year-old will miss at least the next four weeks, while Pelissero noted he could be ready for the playoffs.

  • Dealing with injury

    McNeil (undisclosed) is a little banged up and could miss the Week 14 game against the Bears, according to head coach Dan Campbell, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McNeil managed to play through whatever his injury was against the Saints but seems to have come out of the game worse for wear. His practice status in the days ahead should shed better light on his chances of suiting up against Chicago.

  • Posts 41 tackles in 2022

    McNeill recorded 41 tackles and one sack over 17 games in 2022.

    Analysis: Becoming a building block for the Lions upfront, McNeill also flashed significant upside as an IDP asset (among defensive tackles) during his second season, like in Week 11 against the Giants when he racked up four tackles, one sack and 10 QB pressures -- the most for a 320-plus pound defensive lineman since at least 2006, per Pro Football Focus. The 2021 third-round pick figures to remain a key piece of the Detroit defense in 2023, when McNeill should continue to log upward of 80 percent of…read more
