The Detroit Lions are suiting up for a Monday Night Football showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — and they’re doing it with some serious reinforcements.
Defensive tackle Alim McNeill has officially been activated, giving Detroit’s front line a major boost just in time for a primetime matchup that could shape the NFC playoff picture. Known for his raw power and ability to clog running lanes, McNeill’s presence could be the key to slowing down Baker Mayfield and the Bucs’ offense.
But the Lions didn’t stop there. They’ve added three defensive backs to the active roster, signaling their intent to tighten coverage against Tampa Bay’s talented wideouts — including the dangerous Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka, who are both expected to play.
Head coach Dan Campbell has made it clear: Detroit’s ready to fight, and this defense is about to bring the energy. After a tough loss last week, the Lions are reloading — and the Buccaneers better be ready for a war under the lights.
