Detroit Lions: This player is key to improving special teams

It was sad to see team underdog Zach Zenner land on Injured Reserve prior to the start of the 2018 season. Now, the running back is healthy and ready to contribute for the Detroit Lions.

A back injury that wasn’t thought as serious gave Lions fans like myself hope Zenner would return to the active roster. Those hopes were dashed once he was released with an injury settlement, making him a free agent.

Not so fast! The Doctor is here with Detroit, again. The failings of the coverage units on special teams and the release of running back Ameer Abdullah has given him an opportunity.
