6 years agoThe Detroit Lions have claimed defensive end Romeo Okwara and waived second-year defensive lineman Anthony Zettel. Okwara spent the last two seasons along with this preseason as a member of the New York Giants. He has appeared in 22 games since 2016, including four starts, while recording 24 tackles and one sack. The move is a surprising one, as Zettel finished second on the Lions in sacks last season with 6.5. The team had well-documented struggles with the pass rush this preseason, so it seems the coaching staff wants to move in a different direction. The Lions host the Jets on Monday, so they provide an option for a Week 1 streamer, but this defense has seen much transformation throughout the preseason. It might be best to take a wait-and-see approach before rostering the Lions defense.--Steve Janik - RotoBaller
