Funchess hasn't played in an NFL games since 2019 with the Indianapolis Colts, and he was released by the Green Bay Packers last August with an injury settlement before briefly joining the San Francisco 49ers practice squad. The 28-year-old will be attempting to make a comeback as a tight end in Detroit, and he'll be competing for a roster spot in training camp next month. T.J. Hockenson is the team's unquestioned No. 1 pass-catching tight end, and they also have names like Brock Wright, rookies James Mitchell, Nolan Givan and Derrick Deese Jr., Garrett Griffin and Shane Zylstra at the position.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
