Detroit Lions linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez is out for the season with a torn ACL suffered in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears.

The Lions have been devastated by injuries on defense. Rodriguez will be the fourth linebacker to hit injured reserve with a major injury in 2024 and Detroit is also without star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson.
