Lions shockingly waive tight end that seemed ready for breakout season

Zylstra seemed totally destined for the 53-man roster this year. He had a solid camp and a really good preseason. That’s why it’s shocking that the Lions have chosen to waive him. The reason could be that the team wants to carry fewer tight ends this season. This would set them up with likely three guys in Sam LaPorta, Brock Wright and Parker Hesse.

Zylstra has a good shot to get claimed. If he doesn’t, look for the Lions to bring him right back on their practice squad this season.
