Conklin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Conklin has been used sparingly through the first two games of the regular season, and the veteran tight end will be a healthy scratch Sunday against the team he played for from 2022 to 2024. Brock Wright and Jackson Meeks will provide depth at the position behind Sam LaPorta, and Conklin's next opportunity to play is Week 4 against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 4.
The Lions signed Conklin on Tuesday.

Conklin has worked behind Will Dissly in OTAs and minicamp, according to Spencer Schultz of USA Today.
Dissly has retained the starting role, though Schultz believes Conklin could still play a prominent role for his new team. Conklin could still make a push for the top spot on the tight end depth chart in training camp and preseason, but Dissly's familiarity with the offense seems to have given him the early edge in this position battle.
The TEs priced immediately above and below him.
