\"Lions<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Detroit Lions\u00a0have one tight end on their\u00a053-man roster, but they could get a second back from injury for Sunday’s game against the\u00a0Los Angeles Rams.<\/p>\n

Tight end Shane Zylstra is one of seven\u00a0Lions\u00a0listed as questionable for the game. Zylstra remains on injured reserve in his comeback from a September knee injury, but he was a limited participant in practice Friday, Dec. 12, for the third straight day.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s done well,” Lions offensive coordinator John Morton said this week. “He\u2019s more of a receiving tight end, that helps. It\u2019s been missing ever since [Sam] LaPorta\u2019s been gone. So, he helps in that aspect.”<\/p>\n

The Lions have lost their top two tight ends to injury. LaPorta is out for the season\u00a0following back surgery\u00a0and Brock Wright is recovering\u00a0from a trachea injury\u00a0and not expected back until the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Anthony Firkser is the only tight end currently on the Lions’ 53-man roster.<\/p>\n

Along with Zylstra, the Lions listed offensive linemen Taylor Decker (shoulder), Kayode Awosika (foot) and Christian Mahogany (fibula), receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle), running back Sione Vaki (thumb) and safety Thomas Harper (concussion) as questionable, and ruled out safeties Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch.<\/p>\n

To activate Zylstra to the 53-man roster, the Lions will need to create a roster spot, which they can do by placing Branch (Achilles) on injured reserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
