Conklin cut despite TE3 reps and veteran experience; salary cap move likely.

Conklin was cut despite frequently repping ahead of Jackson Meeks and looking fine as TE3 behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright; the source notes this was shocking given the Lions' expected use of two- and three-tight end formations and their past injury struggles at the position. The Lions may have cut him to avoid his fully guaranteed salary in Week 1, with plans to elevate him from the practice squad later.
