Jim Caldwell 'certainly' comfortable with Andre Roberts returning kicks

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Andre Roberts caught the ball deep in his own end zone Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. His team needed a play. Roberts could have kneeled in the end zone, giving the Detroit Lions the ball on the 25-yard line.

Instead, he chose to run it out of the end zone, not even reaching the 20-yard line.

The five times Roberts has returned kicks this season, he has only gotten past the 20-yard line twice.
