Zinter (lower leg) participated at rookie minicamp practice Friday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Zinter sustained a broken tibia and fibula during his last game at Michigan back in November, but he's apparently already back in action. He figures to provide depth to the interior of a stacked Browns offensive line in 2024.
Browns' Zak Zinter: Going from Michigan to Cleveland

The Browns selected Zinter in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 85th overall.
Cleveland's offensive line was decimated by injury in 2023, so adding depth there was a priority in this draft. Zinter will hopefully be able to help to that end in 2024, but he suffered a broken left tibia and fibula in his final career game in November. Prior to the injury, Zinter started 42 games at right guard for the Wolverines and was a road grader for a physical Michigan offense that emphasized running the ball and play-action passing. His status will be monitored in the lead-up to training camp, but if he's ready by then, he will be a quality depth piece on the interior.
