Lions Bring Back Conklin Amid Uniform Drama | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions are bringing back veteran tight end Tyler Conklin, who was cut but now rejoins the 53-man roster after battling a training camp injury. He’ll join a loaded tight end group featuring Sam LaPorta, Brock Wright, and Jackson Meeks, forcing the team to make a roster move—either placing a player on IR or releasing someone. With a new offensive coordinator pushing for multiple tight ends on the field, this could be a key strategic upgrade. Meanwhile, the Lions unveiled their new “Defend the Den” rivalry uniforms, sparking debate over their resemblance to the Panthers’ colors. The team’s communications chief admitted not everyone will love the look, but players seem to favor the silver and gray design—a bold step to showcase a different side of the Lions brand.
