Veteran linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin is set to return for the Detroit Lions as they gear up for Monday Night Football in Santa Clara, Calif.

After being sidelined for nearly two months due to a neck injury, Reeves-Maybin is back to bolster the Lions’ injury-hit defense.

The team captain and standout on special teams had his 21-day return window activated two weeks ago, giving him time to prepare for this high-stakes game.

This winner-take-all finale is crucial for the Lions’ playoff hopes, providing Reeves-Maybin an opportunity to regain his form and contribute to the team’s push.
