The teams lining up to interview Detroit Lions coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn will have to wait until Friday at the earliest to make their pitch.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Johnson and Glenn are in the process of scheduling interviews with their many suitors, and that they'll try to squeeze in whatever interviews they can Friday after practice or Saturday between walk-through and night meetings.

Johnson, in his second season as Lions offensive coordinator, has interview requests from five teams: Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Los Angeles Chargers, Tennessee Titans and Washington Commanders.

Glenn, in his third season as Lions defensive coordinator, has requests from all of those teams but the Chargers.

The Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders also have job openings and are in the process of formalizing interview requests.

The Lions host the winner of Monday night's Philadelphia Eagles-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game at 3 p.m. Sunday in the divisional round of the playoffs with a chance to advance to the NFC championship game for the second time in the Super Bowl era.

"Those are worthy candidates and I think they’re, both of them should be at the top of everybody’s list," Campbell said. "But we’re in one of these unique years where there’s a ton of jobs available, so that’s also why they all want to speak to them and they should. But that does, that puts a stress on them, on us, but they’ll do the best they can with it, make the most of it, which they should, and then but be prepared for us to get ready the next game."

Assistant coaches from teams who played in the wild-card round of the playoffs are allowed to interview virtually for head coaching positions beginning Tuesday. Johnson and Glenn, however, will be busy with game-planning early in the week.

Teams are not permitted to hold in-person interviews with coaches under contract with other teams until Jan. 22, and cannot officially hire those coaches until their teams are eliminated from the playoffs.

Johnson is considered the frontrunner for the Commanders job. Glenn has ties to Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot from their time together with the New Orleans Saints, and also could emerge as favorite with the Titans.

Glenn said last week he intends to fulfill all of interview requests, and Johnson insisted he wasn't sure how to prioritize his interviews.

"The best we can do is it’ll have to be Friday and a little bit of Saturday, so Friday afternoon after practice is done," Campbell said. "They’re going to have to crunch them in there. They’re already working on scheduling it."

Anzalone: 'I'll be OK'

Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone said he plans to play through whatever pain he's experiencing in this week's divisional playoff game after missing snaps in Sunday's win over the Rams.

"It’s going to probably be a little sore but this is Week 19," Anzalone told the Free Press after the game. "You’re fighting through everything so I’ll be OK."

Anzalone injured his shoulder midway through Sunday's fourth quarter after tackling Rams running back Ronnie Rivers out of bounds on a screen play. Anzalone started the game with a harness on his right shoulder.

He missed four snaps in the second half with his injury, and led the Lions with eight tackles and two tackles-for-loss.

Campbell said Anzalone, who had a career-high 129 tackles this season and is the nerve center of the Lions defense, showed up for treatment on Monday's off day and left "better than he walked in."

"And that’s what you’re looking for," Campbell said. "Look, Alex is tough. He’s been through this. And it does, it means a lot. I mean, that’s — that’s really what we’re built off here and ultimately, it comes down to what the player believes they can do. If they believe they can still produce not being 100 percent, then that’s the difference and we have a ton of guys that are that way."
