The Detroit Lions announced Tuesday that they’ve re-signed RB Zach Zenner.
Other roster moves for the Lions include:
- Lions waived RB Ameer Abdullah. (NFLTR)
- Lions signed WR Bruce Ellington.
Zenner, 26, signed on with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of South Dakota State back in 2015. He played out the final year of his three-year, $1.58 million contract but the Lions declined to tender him an offer as a restricted free agent and tested the market as an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Detroit re-signed Zenner this offseason, but was placed on injured reserve coming out of the preseason with a back injury. The Lions waived him with an injury settlement a few weeks later.
In 2017, Zenner appeared in eight games for the Lions and rushed for 26 yards on 14 carries (1.9 YPC) and scored one touchdown. He also contributed 62 kick return yards.
