**No Anzalone? No Panic from Dan Campbell**
A couple of Lions vets are sitting out OTAs this week, but head coach Dan Campbell isn’t losing any sleep over it. He didn’t name names, but let’s be real—linebacker Alex Anzalone hasn’t shown up in any photos, so it’s a safe bet he’s one of them.
Campbell’s keeping things cool. “Look, I talk to my guys. We’ve got good communication,” he told reporters. “What I say to them stays between us, but I’m not worried. It’s late May—we’re not even in June yet. We’re good.”
He confirmed only two players are MIA, and he knows exactly where they are and why. No drama, no mystery.
As for Anzalone, if he is one of the absentees, the dude’s earned a little trust. He’s been a key piece of Detroit’s defense since 2021, piling up nearly 400 tackles and wearing the captain’s patch. He’s also heading into the final year of his \$18 million deal, so he knows what’s at stake.
The Lions wrap up this round of OTAs today and pick things back up June 4–6. Even if those two vets keep sitting out, Campbell’s chill vibes make it clear—there’s no panic in Detroit.
