Zylstra out for the season

#Lions TE Shane Zylstra is believed to have suffered a serious and significant knee injury, sources say. He’ll have more tests, but there isn’t a lot of optimism. Zylstra burst into the national spotlight last year with 3 TDs vs the #Panthers. Now expected to miss 6 months.”

Not a huge loss for the team but a real shame for him.

Well that sucks. I saw a YouTube short today where Jeff Risdon mentioned the injury didn’t look good and this confirms it.

Sucks for the kid. He was primed and ready.

Glad we got LaPorta!

He will, but if it truly is season ending, they may keep him on IR for the season, where he would get a split salary of $500K if he’s on IR for the season. Would likely get an injury settlement in that neighborhood as well.

It was on a late, low hit right?

Shit, well glad it’s not a starter, but I feel for the guy. He finally got a chance to play last year, he’s 26 years old, played over 200 snaps and caught 4 TD’s. Even if he didn’t make the Lions maybe he catches on with another team, now his season is over before it starts. Sucks for the dude.

He sucks tho

He needs to keep his cool. Gets testy.

Hooker loves him! :slight_smile:

Damn, on the DL I actually liked this dudes chances of making the roster. He’s a solid receiving TE. Sucks that it was friendly fire too. Really, really tough situation.

Deese Nuts loves to say “ligma”.
