Rodriguez (knee) has been downgraded and ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Scouting Report
A thick but compact inside linebacker, he reads plays well, has a tremendous motor and a knack for getting to the ball. Is fast in a straight line but not as quick laterally, which limits him to some degree. His range in space is only average and his lack of optimum size can make it difficult to shed blockers. Still, he finds ways to make plays.
Long Range Potential: Dynamic, playmaking inside linebacker.
