Of the current injured Lions, Alex Anzalone should be ready to go by the start of the playoffs and perhaps in Week 18, depending on what's at stake. Aidan Hutchinson said this week he plans to return for the Super Bowl. And Dan Campbell left the door open for Carlton Davis III to return at some point in the postseason.

The first-round draft pick suffered an injury to his left tibia during Week 6. However, he says he wasn't going to let the injury stop him and made a promise to his teammates.

Speaking on this week's episode of The Squeeze podcast, injured star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson told host Taylor Lautner that the fractured tibia and fibula he suffered in an Oct. 13 game against the Dallas Cowboys should be healed in time for the Super Bowl and that he's on track to play if the Lions make it there.

Dan Campbell said if there's one guy he expected to return from a serious injury, it was Aidan Hutchinson. It sounds like the star defensive end is on track to do just that, as Hutchinson made a promise to his teammates and Detroit's fanbase that he will return in time for the Super Bowl if the Lions make a run in the playoffs.

Detroit Lions got a subpar performance for their offensive line against the Buffalo Bills, while Brian Branch made 15 tackles on defense.

The banged-up Detroit Lions took some serious hits in their loss to the Buffalo Bills. Lions coach Dan Campbell says running back David Montgomery and defensive tackle Alim McNeill need to have season-ending knee surgeries after both were hurt Sunday.

As the Lions and Bills prepare to play each other in a Week 15 game Sunday, maybe this is the year for one of them.

The Lions, one of the best teams in the NFL, have more than 20 players either listed on injured reserve or considered out.

The Detroit Lions suffered more casualties over the weekend, losing three more starters, including two defensive stars as well as top running back David Montgomery
