The Detroit Lions announced that they’ve signed WR Stanley Berryhill to their active roster and elevated WR Brandon Zylstra and TE Shane Zylstra from the practice squad. Brandon Zylstra, 29, wound up going undrafted out of Concordia back in 2016.
The Carolina Panthers are now down a wide receiver/punt returner/kick returner/emergency kicker. On Tuesday, Brandon Zylstra was the 16th known player to be cut by the team in their move to an initial 53-man roster.
WR Brandon Zylstra Height: 6'2" Weight: 215 College: Concordia-Moorhead NFL Stats: 30 receptions, 414 yards, 1 TD Projected 2022 Stats: 22 receptions, 252 yards Depth Chart Projection: Rotational/depth receiver Brandon Zylstra isn't going to be a go-to threat by any means, but he's one of Matt Rhule's favorite players and it's not hard to see why.
The focus has been on the wide receiver room on Wednesday for the Panthers as they signed former Browns WR Rashard Higgins to a one-year deal and now, bring back Brandon Zylstra on a one-year deal as well, per his agent, Jaymeson Moten.
Saturday evening, the Carolina Panthers announced that WR Brandon Zylstra and S Juston Burris have been activated from injured reserve. Burris went down on the Thursday night game against the Houston Texans and was placed on injured reserve shortly after.
Having lost five of their last six games, the Panthers are getting a pair of depth pieces back on the practice field this week. Carolina announced on Wednesday that receiver Brandon Zylstra and offensive lineman Deonte Brown have been designated to return from injured reserve.
The Panthers front office continues to bring in additional help at receiver due to the several guys dealing with injuries at the position such as Alex Erickson (concussion), Terrace Marshall Jr.
With Brandon Zylstra now on the injured reserve and Alex Erickson currently dealing with a concussion, the Carolina Panthers will once again have to find someone to return kicks.
Injuries beget roster churn once again. The Carolina Panthers have completed a couple of roster moves this afternoon. They have signed punter Ryan Winslow from their practice squad to their regular roster to take the spot vacated when they sent wide receiver Brandon Zylstra (hamstring) to injured reserve.
The Panthers called punter Ryan Winslow up from the practice squad for Sunday’s overtime loss to the Vikings, but they won’t have to do that again this week.
