Zak Zinter

Cleveland Browns OG Zak Zinter practiced for the first time since injuring his leg in November.

Zinter “looked comfortable” on the first day of rookie minicamp, per head coach Kevin Stefanski. This is the first time Zinter has taken the field since fracturing both his tibia and fibula in Michigan’s win over Ohio State in November. Zinter, who was taken in the third round, was a promising prospect whose draft stock slipped when he was unable to participate at the NFL combine. Michigan’s offense was anchored by a road-grading offensive line, and Zinter’s 73.8 PFF pass-blocking grade and 75.9 PFF run-blocking grade make him one of just two Michigan OL (min. 100 offensive snaps) to best 73.0 in both categories.
