Detroit Lions waive DE Anthony Zettel after claiming player off of waivers from Giants

With the 2018 NFL regular season ready to kickoff, the Detroit Lions made a surprising move on Wednesday. According to reports, the Lions have waived defensive end Anthony Zettel and have claimed defensive end Romeo Okwara off of waivers from the New York Giants.

Okwara, who attended Notre Dame, originally signed with the Giants as an undrafted rookie free agent prior to the 2016 season.

From 2016-2018, Okwara played in 22 games (4 starts), recording 10 tackles and a sack.

It was certainly a surprise to many fans that the Lions waived Anthony Zettel.

Since being selected by the Lions in the 6th Round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Zettel has shown his worth. In 29 career games (16 starts), he 41 tackles and 7.5 sacks. In 16 starts last season, the former Nittany Lion had 31 tackles and 6.5 sacks.
