Lions LB Malcolm Rodriguez (knee) out until November
Detroit Lions linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez (44) runs off the field after warm ups during the first quarter of the NFL game at Ford Field in Detroit on Oct. 27, 2024. Detroit Lions linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez will not return from his knee injury until November, head coach Dan Campbell said Thursday.
"He's not going to be starting the season out," Campbell said when asked about a timetable for Rodriguez, who tore his right ACL in last year's Thanksgiving game.
"Conservatively? November. ... Yeah, that's probably the best way to say it. Probably November. Somewhere in there."
Rodriguez, 26, recorded 43 tackles and 2.0 sacks in 10 games (six starts) before sustaining the season-ending injury in Detroit's 23-20 holiday victory over the rival Chicago Bears in Week 13.
The 2022 sixth-round draft pick has tallied 151 tackles, 3.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 43 career games (24 starts) for the Lions.
