Alex Anzalone’s parents are headed home from Israel

It’s been a trying week off the field for Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone. Forunately, there is some very welcomed good news for the Lions captain.

Anzalone’s parents were part of a tour group visiting Israel when war erupted in the country. His parents were safe, but trapped in a hotel in Tel Aviv. With the unpredictability of warfare, it was hard to know their level of safety or how hey might be able to return to their home in Florida.

Anzalone had one of the best games of his career in Week 5 despite the off-field tumult.
