Lions have problem on defense vs. tight ends

Allen Park – The Detroit Lions have a problem at tight end and it’s not about to get any easier.

No, we’re not talking about the depth issues the team has battled throughout the offseason due to injuries. Eric Ebron is finally healthy and looked good in the season opener, while undrafted rookie Cole Wick proved, in limited playing time, he’s capable of holding down the fort until the gets Andrew Quarless and Brandon Pettigrew return to action.

The Lions’ issue is actually on the other side of the ball, where the defense has struggled to keep opposing tight ends out of the end zone.
