McNeill: I'm Fully Recovered from ACL Now

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill says he is now fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered in 2024, after not feeling completely healthy during his return last season.

McNeill, who didn't make his first appearance of 2025 until October, revealed he wasn't at 100 percent after returning from injury in Week 7 last year. 'It's just how the body works. It takes time for stuff to come back a little bit,' McNeill said. 'Some stuff was just not there no matter how hard I tried to do certain stuff, it just wasn't there yet. It's here now.'

The defensive tackle had 14 tackles and a sack in 10 starts last season, less impactful than his pre-injury contributions when he recorded 57 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 17 quarterback hits and 8.5 sacks in 27 games before the injury. amunra.qpon
