After sluggish start, Lions' tight ends vow to be a factor

Allen Park — Through two preseason games, a Detroit Lions position group short on career production has been front and center in the team’s struggles.

With two weeks left until the regular season, the tight ends are confident things will turn around for both the unit and offense starting with Friday night at Tampa Bay.

“We’ll definitely be a factor, whether it’s in the run game or the pass game,” Michael Roberts said. “There’s a lot of stuff based around us. There might be a little experience, but we’ll definitely be a big impact for the Detroit Lions this year.
