Watch Lions' Michael Roberts catch a TD pass on his first drive back from injury

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Michael Roberts caught the first touchdown of his career in Week 2 against San Francisco. And he hasn't played since because of a knee injury.

But he wasted no time addressing concerns about rust against Miami.

The tight end opened Sunday's game against the Dolphins by leaking out right and catching a 15-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford on the first offensive series of the day. That gave Detroit an early 7-0 lead.

Paired with a three-and-out from the defense to open the game, the Lions are starting fast as they return from the bye.
