Lions head coach Dan Campbell said DL Alim McNeill (knee) is expected to play in Week 7 against the Bucs.
Barring a setback in the next few days, McNeill should be able to return to game against against Tampa, Campbell said Wednesday. McNeill, who missed two games with a knee injury, would be a welcome addition to a Detroit defense that has struggled of late. His return would be a slight downgrade for Rachaad White as the Bucs’ lead rusher.
