Detroit tight end Tyler Conklin passed his Wednesday physical, per the NFL's transaction wire.
That indicates that Conklin's return is near and the ninth-year pro could be coming off the Physically Unable to Perform list quickly.
Conklin was placed on the PUP list before training camp alongside Lions safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph.
The Lions signed Conklin to a one-year, $1.3 million contract this offseason. Conklin caught seven passes for 101 yards last season with the Chargers. The 6-foot-3, 245-pound tight end has played in 127 NFL games and started 69.
"Conklin's going to probably be about two weeks here, somewhere in there. He's running. You know, he got a little calf back in the spring. We're hopeful. No setbacks. We're trying to be smart with him, you know, but hopefully get him back as soon as possible, so we can get some reps on him," Lions head coach Dan Campbell said of Conklin ahead of Detroit's first day of training camp on July 29.
