Devin Funchess News
Detroit Lions tight end Devin Funchess hauled in all four of his targets during Friday's preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons. He finished with 19 yards and was also on the receiving end of Detroit's lone passing touchdown. Funchess hasn't played a regular-season snap since Week 1 of the 2019 season, but he has converted from wide receiver to tight end and remains persistent in his attempt to secure a roster spot. With the Lions committing roster spots to T.J. Hockenson and a blocking tight end, Funchess is vying for the third and final tight end role in Detroit's offense. He doesn't possess the youth that James Mitchell does, but he still has a chance to sneak onto the roster with a strong preseason showing.
The Detroit Lions signed free-agent wide receiver Devin Funchess to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday and moved him to tight end. 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.
The San Francisco 49ers released wide receiver Devin Funchess (undisclosed) from the practice squad injured list Monday. He was placed on the 49ers practice squad injured list last Tuesday and ultimately released from the team on Monday. Funchess hasn't played a game since 2019 and has now been released by two teams in 2021. The Packers released the 27-year-old from Injured Reserve with an injury settlement during the offseason. Funchess will look to latch onto another team, searching for receiver depth purposes.
