Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone leads his team in tackles after the first eight games of the season. Coming off a bye, Detroit plays the Chargers in Week 10 with a 6–2 record and first-place standing in the NFC North.
The seven-year veteran faces a decision after the Lions’ next two games with a baby girl due to be born. Detroit is scheduled for its annual Thanksgiving Day game, which will be played just before the due date.
If Anzalone’s second child is ready to arrive, will he play against the Packers or miss the game to be with his wife and newborn? Appearing on The Ross Tucker Podcast, the linebacker said there’s not a choice to be made.
