Won't play NFC divisional round
Zeitler (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's NFC divisional-round clash against the Commanders, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Zeitler injured his right hamstring in the fourth quarter of the Lions' Week 18 win over the Vikings. Even with the Lions' first-round playoff bye, Zeitler wasn't able to progress enough in his recovery to participate in practice this week. Christian Mahogany and Kayode Awosika are the presumed top candidates to start at right guard Saturday due to Zeitler's absence.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking at short-term extension
Zeitler could sign a short-term extension to remain with Baltimore this offseason, Jeff Zrebeic of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Zeitler has been a key starter at right guard for Baltimore across the last three seasons, and he's set to hit the open market this offseason. He'll be entering his age-34 season, so a long-term offer may not make sense from the team's perspective. However, it's likely both sides want to get a deal done, so Zeitler should be rewarded for his strong performance for the Ravens.
