Dan Campbell provides clarity on tight end position battle

One of the Detroit Lions’ most unsettled positional battles on offense is at tight end. The Lions are obviously set with their No. 1 guy in T.J. Hockenson, but beyond that, there is little set in stone. Last year, the Lions tried to complement Hockenson with Josh Hill and Darren Fells, but the former retired and the latter asked to be released midseason. For a big portion of the season, the Lions had to rely on undrafted rookie Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra to round out the room.

This year, the Lions didn’t invest heavily in the position.
