Detroit Lions LB Alex Anzalone Reveals Surprising Source Of Latest Injury, And It's Not Football Related

Alex Anzalone is a Detroit Lions fan favorite who showed out for Aaron Glenn's defense last season with 85 tackles and three sacks on the year.

The Lions fell short of their ultimate goal of reaching the Super Bowl as the defense and offense both crumbled in the second half en route to a 34-31 loss.

On Wednesday, Anzalone shared the unlikely source of his latest injury.

A picture of Anzalone was featured by the Detroit Lions' official Twitter account which included what appeared to be a bruise or scuff marks on Anzalone's left eye.

Anzalone quickly took to his own Twitter account a few hours later to clear the air on what happened.

"Don't mind my scratched/swollen left eye," Anzalone said. "My daughter did that right before I left."

The injury does not appear serious by any stretch of the imagination based on the photo the Lions' X account shared, but it does raise the question as to exactly what happened to the Lions' eighth-year man out of Florida.
