Lions re-signed OT Matt Nelson.
Nelson appeared in 11 games last year, logging 70 offensive snaps as a backup. He also picks up work on special teams. Nelson got 11 games worth of starting experience in 2021 and is a solid backup option for the Lions.
Lions declared OT Matt Nelson, S DeShon Elliott, DE Charles Harris, CB Mike Hughes, CB Chase Lucas, S Ifeatu Melifonwu, and DL Michael Brockers inactive for Week 8 against the Dolphins.
The Lions enter Week 8 relatively healthy on offense. Critically, both Amon-Ra St. Brown and D'Andre Swift will be back in the lineup this week.
T Matt Nelson signed his tender with the Lions.
A defensive lineman at Iowa, Nelson transitioned to tackle in Detroit last year. He played in all 16 games and got one start for the Lions. Nelson, 25, will stay in Detroit for at least one more season. Pro Football Focus graded the Lions offensive line as the ninth best pass blocking unit and the worst run blocking unit in the NFL last year.
