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.

Eight-year veteran tight end Tyler Conklin has passed his physical and will come off the PUP list after missing the first week of training camp with a spring calf injury. Signed to a one-year, $1.3 million deal to compete for depth behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright, Conklin brings a strong blend of receiving skills and physical play; he has caught at least 50 passes in each of the four seasons prior to a tough 2025 with the Chargers and has posted 400+ receiving yards on four different occasions.
