Titans coach Brian Callahan said Tuesday that the team is taking it slowly with Zeitler (hamstring) during offseason work, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Callahan pointed out that Zeitler is a known commodity as a 35-year-old veteran, and the Titans don't need to see much of him during padless practices. Zeitler missed the Lions' divisional-round loss to the Commanders back in January after he was injured in the Week 18 regular-season finale. He will man right guard in Tennessee after inking a one-year, $9 million deal.

Lions' Kevin Zeitler: Injures hamstring Sunday
Rotowire
Zeitler suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday night's 31-9 win over the Vikings.
Zeitler pulled up lame on Detroit's final possession of the game, ultimately exiting the contest in the fourth quarter with a right hamstring injury. The offensive lineman will look to rest and recover in time to play in the Lions' next contest in two weeks for a matchup in the NFC divisional round. If Zeitler is unable to go, Christian Mahogany would be a top candidate to draw a start at offensive guard in the playoffs.

Zeitler made the Pro Bowl in 2023 with the Ravens and will replace Jonah Jackson at guard on Detroit's offensive line. The Lions boasted one of the top offensive lines in the NFL last season, and the addition of the Wisconsin product should allow them to do so again in 2024.
