Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew provided a solid target for Matthew Stafford as always in Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots.
Pettigrew was not a big-play threat, finishing with three receptions for 29 yards, with a long catch of 12 yards. He was targeted four times in the game.
With just one game left in the preseason, Pettigrew is unlikely to play much in next week's preseason finale against the Bills in Buffalo. He has six catches for 49 yards in the preseason.
