Detroit Lions roster moves ahead of Week 3 vs Baltimore reshape blocking and receiving depth. Shane Zylstra is out at least four games with an ankle injury after exiting the game with Chicago, prompting shifts at tight end and line. Monty Rice was released from the practice squad and Trystan Colon was added to the active roster to shore up the interior. Malik Cunningham and Ross Dwelley joined the practice squad, giving Detroit a versatile mix in two‑tight end packages and depth at wideout.

Dwelley’s background as a blocking TE with production in two‑TE looks, plus Colon’s upgrade on the line, could unlock modest fantasy upside for the Lions’ offense in limited Week 3 snaps. The looming question is how much Zylstra’s absence opens targets and where the early opportunities land beyond the immediate depth chart.

The San Francisco 49ers have re-signed tight end Ross Dwelley to a one-year deal, solidifying their tight end depth behind George Kittle. Dwelley, who spent last season with the Atlanta Falcons, has appeared in 84 games for the 49ers, starting 17 and recording 515 yards with five touchdowns. Kittle expressed his excitement on social media, celebrating the reunion.

Kittle recently secured a record-setting $76.4 million extension, enhancing the 49ers' offense while mitigating concerns surrounding his injury history. Dwelley’s experience and familiarity with the team's system will be invaluable as Kittle navigates his recovery from past ailments.
