David Long: Finds work in Detroit
The Lions signed Long to their practice squad Monday.
With Alex Anzalone expected to be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks after breaking his forearm in the Lions' Week 11 win over the Jaguars, Long has been added to Detroit's practice squad. The veteran linebacker's production has slowed recently, as he posted just 38 total tackles across eight games with the Dolphins before being waived Nov. 13. However, he could help Detroit fill Anzalone's void once he becomes acquainted with the team's defensive scheme.

Dolphins' David Long: Questionable for Week 7
Long (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
Long appears to be dealing with a knee injury following the Dolphins' bye week, but he still practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and has a chance to suit up Sunday. If the 28-year-old is unable to play through injury in Week 7, expect Anthony Walker to start alongside Jordyn Brooks in Miami's inside-linebacker corps.

Dolphins' David Long: Good to go for Week 5
Long (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots and is expected to play, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
After missing last Monday night's game against Tennessee, Long was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday. Anthony Walker will likely head back to the bench on defense with Long back in the lineup. Through three games, Long has 21 tackles (18 solo), including two TFLs.

Dolphins' David Long: Unlikely to play vs. Titans
Long (hamstring) did not participate in practice Saturday and is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Titans, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Long was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 3 against the Seahawks. He's unlikely to suit up Monday against the Titans -- the team that selected him in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft -- and his next chance at playing will be Week 5 against the Patriots on Oct. 6. In Long's predicted absence, Anthony Walker would be the next man up at inside linebacker alongside starter Jordyn Brooks.

Long recorded 11 tackles (nine solo) during Thursday's 31-10 loss versus the Bills.
The Bills were able to run the ball frequently in a lopsided win, creating a healthy number of opportunities for tackles for Long. He continued to play essentially an every-down role in Week 2, and as long as he retains that role, he figures to carry some IDP value in most formats.

Dolphins' David Long: OK after injury
Long, who briefly left Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jaguars due to a hand injury, stated Monday that he is fine, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Long finished the day with eight tackles (seven solo) despite missing a few snaps with the injury.
