Lions sign Pat O’Connor to 53-man roster, elevate practice squad players
The Detroit Lions have added Pat O’Connor to their 53-man roster, while elevating 2 others from the practice squad, including a big surprise.
Pat Occonor
Ukwu
Zylstra
Maybe Hesse does play DE now lol
O’Connor to the 53 man roster is a bit underwhelming… 30 years old and has barely played in his career. 285 snaps since being drafted in 2017. He’s at least fresh
Also with 0’Connor and Ukwu active… I think Houston going to be inactive again. It seems like his career in Detroit is nearing an end.
We got a white defense end that went to Eastern Michigan.
Just not the one we wanted
It does feel that way doesn’t it. He’s had chances to get in there and make plays. He’s the lions Chris Shelton.
I would guess, the 7 inactives
Mahogany, Thomas, Houston, Sorsdal, Manu,
Plus 2 more idk
Doesn’t mean we are done and doesn’t mean O’Connor stays on the 53 all year. It’s a nice way of rewarding the guy.
Don’t think he’s on the 53 man roster.
Not officially yet no.
But the lions are currently at 52+ mahogany.
And he’s been on the practice report. Either way. Mahogany plus 6 need to be inactive
Tricky decision on Mahogany cause we don’t really need another backup guard on 53 man. I’d just stash him on IR for the season. He missed all of camp and preseason…doubt he’s close to being ready to play.

“Mom, can we get Maxx Crosby?”
“We already have Maxx Crosby at home.”
The Maxx Crosby at home-

I hope he goes off and gets a fat contract from the Cards or the Browns or some other team like that
Zylstra is converting to DE - problem solved.

Maybe he is… do we really need 4 tight ends active?
Well, if we don’t have Zeitler maybe we need more blockers to handle the MN defensive scheme.
Other than at quarterback, I don’t know if there’s a bigger drop off at a position in the NFL than what we have between Hutchinson and the next man up at DE.
There’s no way we don’t bring in someone next week. Don’t expect an all pro type but hopefully someone who has produced before and fits the scheme. Otherwise I have no idea what Glenn is going to do.
Sorry for the rant but the more I look at tomorrows game the more I’m worried about what this defense looks like without Hutch.
Zielter was only questionable on the report. Usually meaning they will be in.
But with hutch out. That means the depth OLB/DE will play more snaps. And those guys typically play special teams. So if those guys play more defensive snaps. They want more depth for special teams.
