Jim Caldwell, Lions continue to deflect questions about Stephen Tulloch

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Stephen Tulloch has been on the Detroit Lions roster for months now, even though the franchise told him he won’t be part of the team’s plans in 2016.

And despite knowing that, the Lions have kept Tulloch on the roster for reasons apparently only known to the Lions brass and potentially Tulloch and his agent. On Friday, Lions coach Jim Caldwell joined the people unwilling to explain Tulloch’s stay on Detroit’s roster when he was asked about it before the start of rookie minicamp.

“I think Bob [Quinn] has talked to you at length about that one,” Caldwell said.
