Tears ACL McNeil sustained a ruptured ACL during Sunday's game versus the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact As suspected after he was forced out of action early in Week 15, McNeil will spend the rest of the season on the sidelines. His absence likely means that veteran DJ Reader will start at defensive tackle next to Levi Onwuzurike for the remainder of the year.

Impact It's yet another potentially serious injury for the Detroit defense, as McNeill was injured in the third quarter Sunday and ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly after. Levi Onwuzurike is next up for snaps on the interior of the Lions' defensive line, a unit that has already lost seven players to injured reserve. Detroit's offense may have to turn things up a couple notches the rest of the way in order to make up for all of the injuries on the defensive side of the ball.

Suffers knee injury Week 15 McNeill has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Buffalo due to a knee issue.

Impact McNeill was injured midway through the third quarter and was ruled out a few minutes before the end of the period. Prior to his exit, the defensive lineman tallied one tackle. Levi Onwuzurike could be in line for a bigger workload in McNeill's absence.

Clears protocol McNeill (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

Impact McNeill practiced in full all week after sustaining a concussion in the Lions' Week 14 win over the Packers, and his omission from Friday's injury report indicates he has cleared the NFL's five-step protocol. With McNeill and DJ Reader both at full health, they're expected to cause problems for the Bills' interior run game in Week 15.

Records full practice Wednesday McNeill (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

Impact McNeill left last Thursday's win over the Packers early due to a concussion, but the extended time off between that game and the start of this week's practice schedule appears to have given him ample time to recover. Nonetheless, McNeill will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday against the Bills.

Returns to TNF McNeill (head) returned to the field Thursday night versus the Packers, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact McNeill briefly exited the game in the first half to be evaluated for a concussion, ultimately returning to the field. He'll continue to operate as the top option on the interior defensive line against Green Bay.

Being evaluated for concussion McNeill (head) left in the first quarter of Thursday's game and is being evaluated for a concussion, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

Impact McNeill was forced to leave Thursday's game after taking a hit to the head while making a tackle on Josh Jacobs on the Packers' first offensive drive. The Lions are already without DJ Reader (shoulder), Levi Onwuzurike (hamstring) and Josh Paschal (knee) for Thursday's game, so Brodric Martin should see more snaps at defensive tackle for as long as McNeill is sidelined.
