Shane Zylstra News: Quiet 2024 campaign

Zylstra finished the 2024 regular season having caught his only target for 22 yards over 10 games.

Zylstra was virtually nonexistent on the offensive side of the ball in 2024, operating as the No. 3 tight end behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright. Zylstra's only catch came in Week 11 against the Jaguars when LaPorta didn't play due to a shoulder injury. Zylstra will enter the offseason as a restricted free agent, meaning the Lions will have the ability to match any offer put in front of him by another team.
