flag The Detroit Lions signed veteran tight end Tyler Conklin to a one-year deal to strengthen their tight end depth after Sam LaPorta's 2025 season ended early due to a back injury. flag Conklin, a 30-year-old Michigan native with eight NFL seasons under his belt, brings experience and consistent production, having recorded 50+ catches in four of the past five seasons. flag Though his 2025 performance with the Chargers was limited to seven catches for 101 yards, he offers reliability as a pass-catcher and a strong pass-blocker, grading at 66 or higher in five of his eight seasons. flag The move, influenced by a coaching connection with new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing and Conklin’s local ties, supports the Lions’ strategy of adding depth without long-term commitment.
