Lions' Brandon Zylstra: Elevated from practice squad
Brandon Zylstra was elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday.This will be Zylstra's first time on the active roster this season, but he has considerable NFL experience, playing in 53 games over the past four seasons. His best campaign came last year with Carolina, as he compiled 18 catches on 25 targets for 250 yards and a touchdown. Detroit has a need for wide receiver depth with DJ Chark (ankle) moved to IR on Saturday and Josh Reynolds questionable for Sunday's game in Dallas due to a knee injury.

Brandon Zylstra was released by the Panthers on Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.Zylstra re-signed with the Panthers in March, but he will hit the open market after failing to make the team's final roster.

Panthers' Brandon Zylstra: No yards Sunday
Brandon Zylstra didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Buccaneers. He also attempted an incomplete pass.Zylstra played just three snaps after returning from the reserve/COVID-19 list last week, but with Terrace Marshall (foot) sidelined Sunday, Zylstra reclaimed Carolina's No. 3 wideout role and featured on nearly 70 percent of the offensive plays. Despite his increased involvement, Zylstra didn't manage any yards on the day. As a result, he ends this season with 18 catches on 25 targets for 250 yards and a touchdown in 14 appearances. Even though they came within one of the league's worst passing attacks, those totals mark career bests for the 28-year-old. As an unrestricted free agent this offseason, it'll be interesting to see how much interest Zylstra garners as a depth wideout and special teamer.

Panthers' Brandon Zylstra: Tiny offensive role
Brandon Zylstra played just three offensive snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Saints.Zylstra returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, but his time out prevented him from seeing the field much offensively. In contrast, rookie wideout Terrace Marshall played 44 snaps, catching two passes for 16 yards. Although Carolina's underwhelming offense restricts the upside of its third receiver, it'll be interesting to see whether Marshall or Zylstra gets more run Week 18 versus the Buccaneers.

Panthers' Brandon Zylstra: Comes off COVID-19 list
Carolina activated Brandon Zylstra (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Darin Gantt of the Carolina Panthers' official site reports.Zylstra looks like he'll be available to play Sunday in New Orleans after he was deactivated ahead of last week's eventual loss to Tampa Bay upon testing positive for the virus hours before kickoff. Assuming Zylstra is good to go from a conditioning standpoint, he could step back in as the Panthers' No. 3 receiver, a role he held prior to going on the COVID-19 list. The job wasn't especially fruitful for fantasy purposes, with Zylstra recording no more than four receptions in any of his past three appearances despite playing more than half of the Panthers' snaps on offense each time out.
