The Detroit Lions continue to make roster adjustments as the season takes shape. On Saturday, the team announced that offensive lineman Trystan Colon has been signed to the active roster, while tight end Shane Zylstra has been placed on injured reserve.
Colon, a versatile interior lineman with experience at both guard and center, gives the Lions extra depth up front. With Detroit’s offensive line already considered one of the strongest units in the league, adding Colon provides another reliable piece to help protect Jared Goff and open lanes for the running game.
The downside to the move is the loss of Zylstra, who has been a steady presence in Detroit’s tight end group. Zylstra has shown flashes of being a red-zone weapon, and his absence leaves the Lions thinner at the position as they adjust their offensive rotations.
For Detroit, this move is about maintaining balance—reinforcing the trenches while preparing to adjust at tight end. The Lions have been proactive in keeping their roster strong, and this latest shift shows just how serious they are about staying ready for the grind of the season.
