The Detroit Lions’ tight end future hinges on Sam LaPorta’s recovery from back surgery—his health could dictate the entire depth chart. Veteran Tyler Conklin, with over 270 catches and minimal injury history, is poised to step in if LaPorta needs rest or faces setbacks. Rookie Miles Kitselman, recovering from surgeries and sidelined OTA work, could be thrust into action if injuries strike—otherwise, he’ll likely develop on the practice squad. As camp begins, the Lions are watching closely to see if Conklin’s missed practices signal trouble and how quickly Kitselman can contribute. The season’s success may depend on having reliable backups ready when LaPorta’s recovery demands caution.
