While injuries have swept through nearly every position group for the Lions this season, the tight ends room has been largely spared.
With general manager Bob Quinn rotating the roster like a three-card monte dealer throughout the fall, no moves have been made at tight end, billed as perhaps the most improved unit on the team.
But despite Jesse James, T.J. Hockenson and Logan Thomas all having perfect attendance on game days, the production hasn’t been there.
James, one of the team’s most ballyhooed acquisitions, has been particularly galling in his inactivity, averaging less than a catch per game.
