Allen Park — With two young players sidelined by injury, the Detroit Lions added some depth at tight end on Tuesday, signing former Farmington Hills Harrison and University of Michigan standout Devin Funchess.
A second-round pick in 2015, Funchess spent his first four seasons with the Carolina Panthers. Appearing in 62 games for the franchise, he caught 161 passes for 2,233 yards and 21 touchdowns. His best campaign came in his third year, when he hauled in 63 balls for 840 and eight scores.
Funchess signed a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts ahead of the 2019 season, but appeared in just one game with the team after breaking his collarbone early in the season.
