Lions offer 'conservative' timeline on LB Malcolm Rodriguez's return from torn ACL
Lions offer 'conservative' timeline on LB Malcolm Rodriguez's return from torn ACL "Rodrigo" tore his ACL on Thanksgiving, and he might not return to action before that same game in 2025 It's apparently going to be some time before linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez returns to action. Lions head coach Dan Campbell offered a "conservative" timeline for Rodriguez's return to action from a torn ACL suffered late last season. Rodriguez, a key reserve LB and special teams fixture, tore the ACL in his knee on November 28th in the Thanksgiving win over the Chicago Bears. He has been away from the team during the recent OTAs rehabbing from the surgery. Ahead of Thursday's final OTA session, Campbell was asked about "Rodrigo" and his potential timeline to return. 'Yeah. He's not going to be starting the season out (in action)," Campbell stated. "If I - conservatively, November. Or maybe that's - yeah, that's probably the best way to say it. Probably November. Somewhere in there.' That more conservative timeline meshes with what our Dr. Jimmy Liao laid out earlier this offseason. More: Health updates from Dan Campbell's end-of-OTA press conference
