Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill received an encouraging update after leaving Friday’s training camp practice due to a neck injury. The injury occurred early in the second 11-on-11 session, but McNeill walked off the field unaided before heading to the locker room for evaluation. He has reportedly avoided serious injury and was performing well in training camp prior to the incident.
