DETROIT — Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone has broken his left forearm and is expected to miss six to eight weeks, another blow to a defense that has been hit hard by injuries. Anzalone had three solo tackles and assisted on two stops Sunday during Detroit's 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He 56 tackles this season, ranking third on the team after leading the team in tackles in each of the last two seasons. The NFC-leading Lions have lost a lot of players on defense, including star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson, who had 7 1/2 sacks before he broke his leg last month.
