Later the same day the team placed rookie tight end Miles Kitselman on injured reserve, clearing a roster spot that was filled by re‑signing wide receiver Tarik Black. The Lions also confirmed Conklin’s expected addition to the active roster and added tight ends Nick Muse and Zach Horton to bolster depth at the position as the club prepares for the upcoming season.
