Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone shared Thursday morning that both of his parents are returning home safely after a trip to Israel amid an ongoing conflict in the region. His parents were among 50 people affiliated with a Naples, Fla.–based church that went on the overseas tour.
“Thank you to everyone who has been saying prayers for my family and their safety,” he wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “It’s been a scary, anxiety filled several days but my parents are headed home safely. So many people to thank but I know this, God is good.”
