Roberts ready to rebound after rookie misstep

There was one noticeable player missing from Detroit’s season finale win over Green Bay last month.

Rookie tight end Michael Roberts was suspended for the game for conduct detrimental to the team after reportedly missing a team meeting the night before the game.

It was a rookie mistake that Roberts said after the season he learned from.

“We are professionals, and I did something unprofessional,” he said. “It’s not a big thing right now. It happened. I have to move forward. I have to be better. So, that’s just where it is right now.
