Tyler Conklin Signs One-Year Deal With Lions

Friday, March 13, 12:49 PM

Free-agent tight end Tyler Conklin is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the Detroit Lions on Friday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Conklin will join the Lions, his fourth different team, for his ninth NFL campaign in 2026. The 30-year-old veteran played for the Los Angeles Chargers last year and caught only seven of his 10 targets for 101 yards and no touchdowns in 13 regular-season games (five starts) as a depth option. The former fifth-round pick (157th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 out of Central Michigan will likely be in a depth role again in his move to Motown, behind both Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck), leaving him avoidable in all fantasy football leagues. Conklin had a career-high 621 receiving yards in 2023 with the New York Jets, and he's never scored more than four times in a single season. He's caught a total of 270 passes in his career for 2,645 yards and 11 touchdowns across his eight seasons.

Terrance Ferguson Held Out of Practice, Works on Side

Tuesday, August 25, 11:34 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson did not participate in Tuesday's practice, though he was doing workouts off to the side, according to Nate Atkins. Ferguson had been putting together a strong summer before the absence, including two red-zone touchdowns during last week's joint practice with New Orleans. The Rams have also been expanding what they ask him to do in the passing game and moving him around the formation. Ferguson flashed that playmaking ability on limited opportunities as a rookie, catching 11 passes for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games. Six of those receptions went for at least 25 yards. There is no reason to speculate on what kept Ferguson out Tuesday based on the information available. For now, the important part is that he wasn't in team drills but remained active with workouts on the side.
