Former Lions DE Anthony Zettel claimed by Cleveland Browns

If you were holding out hope that Anthony Zettel would wind up back in Detroit as part of the Lions’ practice squad, the Cleveland Browns buried those dreams on Thursday afternoon. A day after the Lions surprisingly waived Zettel, the Browns claimed him off waivers, immediately adding him to their 53-man roster.

The Lions decided to move on from their 2016 sixth-round pick on Wednesday afternoon, cutting him in favor of waiver claim Romeo Okwara, who, in turn, was waived by the New York Giants the day before.
