Yahoo Sports NFL on Tyler Conklin
From the article
veteran tight end Tyler Conklin has passed his physical after missing the first week of training camp with a calf injury suffered in the spring. That almost certainly means Conklin will come off the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list when the Lions return to practice on Thursday.
STACKED’s take
Conklin clears physical, expected off PUP list as Lions TE injuries mount.
Tyler Conklin passed his physical after missing the first week of training camp with a calf injury suffered in the spring; he is expected to come off the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list when the Lions return to practice on Thursday. The source notes his return comes at an opportune time given injuries to Anthony Firkser (broken leg on injured reserve) and Miles Kitselman (leg injury on injured reserve), positioning Conklin as the biggest impact of Detroit's tight end room maneuvering. An eight-year veteran who has recorded at least 400 receiving yards on four occasions and caught at least 50 passes in each of the four previous seasons, Conklin was signed to a one-year, $1.3 million deal to compete for depth behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.
