Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew has hardly been a factor on offense through the first two weeks. However, coach Jim Schwartz hinted Monday Pettigrew's role won't be changing moving forward.
"There's some tough catches in traffic that he's made in the past that he needs to get back to making some of those," Schwartz said. "(With) tight ends, there's always going to be contact and a lot of those balls, there was contact. Our guy has got to be stronger than their guy when it comes to that."
