Tyler Conklin News: Minimal offensive work in 2025

Conklin caught seven of 10 targets for 101 yards and rushed once for two yards across 13 regular-season games in 2025.

The 30-year-old from Central Michigan was a healthy scratch in five of the Chargers' final six games this season, including the wild-card loss to the Patriots, as he slid down the depth chart following the emergence of rookie Oronde Gadsden. Conklin posted his lowest receiving yardage total since 2019 but still averaged 14.4 yards per reception, the second-highest mark of his career. Set to become a free agent this offseason, Conklin could find work with a team in need of tight-end depth ahead of the 2026 campaign.
