Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill is determined to return stronger than ever after a season-ending ACL injury suffered in December. Despite the setback, McNeill remains optimistic, attacking his rehab with a day-by-day mindset.
With key pieces like DJ Reader, Aidan Hutchinson, and Za’Darius Smith set to return, Detroit’s defensive front is shaping up to be a force in 2025. McNeill, fresh off a four-year, $97 million extension, is eager to contribute. “We still have a young squad, and I see a great future for us,” he said.
