Allen Park — The Detroit Lions announced a number of transactions Saturday afternoon, including the activation of fullback Jason Cabinda off the physically unable to perform list.
Cabinda had missed the first eight games this season after a botched surgery to remove bone spurs from his ankle nicked an artery, significantly delaying what should have been a quick recovery. In addition to his fullback duties, he's been on of Detroit's top special teams performers the past two seasons.
Beyond Cabinda's activation, the Lions also signed tight end Shane Zylstra to the active roster off the practice squad and are temporarily elevating wide receiver Stanley Berryhill and linebacker Jarrad Davis off that unit.
