Detroit Lions sign TE Jared Pinkney off Rams practice squad, put Brock Wright on COVID list

The Detroit Lions shuffled tight ends as part of a slew of roster moves Tuesday, signing Jared Pinkney off the Los Angeles Rams practice squad and placing Brock Wright on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Wright had been the Lions' only healthy tight end after T.J. Hockenson opted to undergo season-ending thumb surgery Dec. 16 and Shane Zylstra and Jason Cabinda suffered knee injuries in last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Zylstra broke his left kneecap and is out for the season, while Lions coach Dan Campbell said Monday there is a possibility Cabinda could return for the Lions' Jan.
