Roberts, 25, was drafted in the fourth round by the Detroit Lions out of Toledo.
The former Lion recorded nine receptions for 100 yards and three scores before going down with a shoulder injury in December.
Considering how thin the depth is at tight end, Roberts has a realistic chance as of now to make the team but it would not be surprising if drastic measures were taken to shore up the position.
