If you happened to tune in for Sunday’s game between the Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons, you may have noticed the play when Lions TE Shane Zylstra was injured and carted off the field.
Well, we now know exactly the injury Zylstra suffered and it sounds horrific.
According to Adam Schefter, Zylstra was carted off the field after suffering a fractured kneecap. He will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list this afternoon, ending his season.
We wish Shane a full and speedy recovery.
Tough day for the Zylstra Brothers yesterday: Brandon of the Panthers has a positive Covid test in the morning and Shane of the Lions fractured his kneecap in the afternoon, per source.
