Re-signs on one-year deal
The Lions re-signed Anzalone to a one-year contract worth up to $4 million Monday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Anzalone suffered a season-ending shoulder injury late December after suiting up for 14 games in 2021, but reports suggest he won't face a long-term recovery. After posting a career-high 78 tackles (49 solo), to go with one sack, seven pass breakups and one interception, Anzalone has earned another shot to prove himself in Detroit's linebacker corps.

Goes on injured reserve
The Lions placed Anzalone (shoulder) on injured reserve Monday.
Analysis: Anzalone's move to IR comes just hours after Chris Burke of The Athletic reported that the linebacker suffered a season-ending injury in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Fortunately for Anzalone, he's not expected to face a long-term recovery period, which suggests he'll avoid surgery. The 27-year-old wraps up his first season in Detroit with 78 tackles and an interception over 14 games.

Done for season
Anzalone (shoulder) is out for the rest of the season, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Anzalone left the Lions' win over the Cardinals on Sunday early with the injury. The team doesn't believe it is a long-term issue, but severe enough to keep him out the last three weeks of the season. Anzalone will be a free agent if the Lions don't sign him to a new deal before March, and he has had shoulder issues in the past that could impact his market in the offseason, Burke separately reports.

Will not return
Anzalone (shoulder) will not return Sunday against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Anzalone left Sunday in the first half with the injury. With Josh Woods (shoulder) also out, the Lions are reaching the bottom of their linebacker positional depth chart. Derrick Barnes and Anthony Pittman will both likely see steady work for the rest of the game.

Questionable to return
Anzalone (shoulder) is questionable to return Sunday against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Anzalone entered Sunday questionable with an ankle injury but ultimately suited up. A shoulder injury may now keep him from finishing the game. In his absence, Josh Woods will likely be given an extra workload.

Set to face Cardinals
Anzalone (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Analysis: Anzalone suffered the injury during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Broncos. However, he closed the week with two limited practices and will return to play a key role in the Lions defense. Across 13 games this season, Anzalone has recorded 78 total tackles, seven passes defended, one interception and one sack.

Questionable for Sunday
Anzalone (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Anzalone suffered the ankle injury during last week's loss to other Broncos, and his availability for Sunday's contest is up in the air. Josh Woods filled in at inside linebacker for him and could receive the start against Arizona if Anzalone is out.

Day-to-day with ankle injury
Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Anzalone (ankle) is day-to-day.
Analysis: Anzalone recorded one tackle before leaving Sunday's loss to the Broncos in the first quarter. Josh Woods stepped up in Anzalone's absence, and he would likely draw the start at inside linebacker in Week 15 if Anzalone is unable to play.

Will not return
Anzalone (ankle) will not return Sunday against the Broncos, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Analysis: Anzalone exited in the first quarter and was taken to the locker room. With Anzalone out, Josh Woods should see the bulk of extra opportunities for the remainder of the game.

Suffers ankle injury Sunday
Anzalone (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Anzalone recorded one tackle before leaving the Week 14 contest in the first quarter. He was taken to the locker room, but his status remains questionable. If he is unable to return, then Josh Woods is expected to take over at inside linebacker for the remainder of the contest.

Nine stops Sunday
Anzalone registered nine tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 16-16 tie with the Steelers.
Analysis: Anzalone continues to be a very consistent producer for the Lions this season, recording at least four tackles in every game and seven-plus tackles five times. The 2017 third-round pick will likely remain a high-floor option in deeper IDP leagues, but his production is limited due to his lack of sacks and forced turnovers.

Another seven tackles
Anzalone recorded seven tackles in Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Anzalone wasn't on the field for a defensive snap for the first time this season, though he still tallied seven tackles for the third time in his last four games. He leads the Lions with 44 stops this season, while also adding on a sack and interception.

Racks up seven tackles
Anzalone recorded seven tackles in Sunday's 34-11 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Anzalone has yet to miss a defensive snap for the Lions this season and is tied for the team lead with 30 tackles through six games, while also racking up a sack and an interception.

Picks off first pass of season
Anzalone totaled four tackles (one solo), one pass deflection and one interception in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Anzalone has been a consistent producer for Detroit's defense this season, posting 30 tackles, one sack and one interception through five games. If the 27-year-old linebacker can maintain this production, he could garner some looks in deep IDP leagues.

Records six tackles in loss
Anzalone made six tackles (4 solo) during Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Anzalone is on pace for a career year during his first season with the Lions. The 27-year-old has totaled 25 tackles (19 solo) and one interception through the first four games of the 2021 campaign.

Double-digit tackles on MNF
Anzalone had 10 tackles (eight solo) during Monday's 35-17 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Anzalone has handled 100 percent of defensive snaps through the first two games of the 2021 season, giving him a relatively safe fantasy floor in IDP formats. However, as the year progresses, there will be some risk of rookie fourth-round pick Derrick Barnes pushing for a share of interior snaps.

Locked into starting role
Anzalone is locked into a starting role at inside linebacker, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Analysis: Signed to a team-friendly deal in free agency, Anzalone perhaps unsurprisingly seems to have beaten out Jahlani Tavai for the starting job next to Jamie Collins. If he can stay there all year, the 26-year-old has a great shot of topping the career-high 59 tackles he logged over 486 defensive snaps for New Orleans in 2018.

Signs with Lions
Anzalone agreed Wednesday with the Lions on a one-year, $1.75 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Anzalone, formerly a rotational linebacker with the Saints, will reunite with former New Orleans assist and new Detroit head coach Dan Campbell. Despite handling the heaviest snap count of his career last season (525) and playing in all 16 games, Anzalone only managed 22 total tackles and was held without a sack.

Disappointing season
Anzalone recorded 41 tackles (22 solo) across 16 regular-season games for the Saints in 2020.
Analysis: It was encouraging to see him play all 16 games after playing in just two last year, and despite playing heavy snaps, he disappointed. Anzalone failed to force a turnover or record a sack and compiled fewer than three tackles per game -- a career-low mark. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2021, and his future with the Saints is yet unknown.

Locked in with first unit
Anzalone has been "entrenched" with the Saints' first-team defense, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com notes.
Analysis: Triplett further added that rookie Zack Baun and new addition Nigel Bradham will compete for the No. 2 linebacker role, but "Anzalone's the one to beat so far." It's encouraging news for the fourth-year linebacker, who was placed on the injured reserve last September due to a shoulder injury and has only played a full season once in his career.

Proclaims health
Anzalone (shoulder) is fully recovered from September surgery, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Anzalone was placed on injured reserve in September, finishing 2019 with seven tackles and one sack in two games. He started seven of 16 games the previous season, notching 59 tackles, three forced fumbles, two sacks and an interception. The 2017 third-round pick is now entering the final season of his rookie contract and should have a shot at a starting job in 2020. Demario Davis is the only sure-thing starter among the LBs currently on the Saints' roster.

Another injury-plagued year
Anzalone (shoulder) recorded seven tackles and a sack over two games in 2019.
Analysis: For the second time since entering the league three years ago, Anzalone was placed on IR before playing his fifth game. He played a full season in 2018 and posted 59 tackles, two sacks and an interception. The 2017 third-round pick showcased potential in that campaign, but he can't be penciled in for a starting role in 2020 due to injury concerns. However, since he's on his rookie contract, he'll likely survive cut day at least.
