The Detroit Lions suffered a devastating blow Friday when it was revealed linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez has been ruled out for the season.
Rodriguez, who has started six games this year while recording 43 tackles and two sacks, exited the Lions’ Thanksgiving win over the Chicago Bears Thursday.
It was confirmed Friday that he suffered a season-ending injury, having torn his ACL, according to Jordan Schultz.
The injury marks yet another blow for the Lions as they injuries continue to pile up in Detroit as the NFL enters the playoff-push stretch of the season.
Rodriguez had played well since stepping up for Derrick Barnes and Alex Anzalone, who have both also been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Barnes tore his MCL and PCL in September and is expected to miss the rest of the year, and Anzalone broke his forearm two weeks ago and will miss the rest of the regular season.
