According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Detroit Lions will not be offering backup offensive tackle Matt Nelson a restricted free agent tender.

At the NFL Scouting Combine, Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes’ time with the media produced some interesting nuggets of information about the Detroit Lions. Most of the buzz, naturally, surrounded Campbell’s comments about Jared Goff, and how the team is keeping an eye on the future at the quarterback position. And while quarterback talk is…
