Dickerson suffered a torn Achilles' tendon on Tuesday, wkrn.com reports.
The backup tight end did not record a catch with the Titans in 2014, and was not expected to bring significant pass-catching value in 2015. This injury should have little impact on the top of the team's tight end depth chart, where Delanie Walker and Anthony Fasano (in that order) remain the favorites for targets.

Lions TE Dorin Dickerson knowingly played through a concussion in Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Giants.
Dickerson said he "just got knocked out" early in the fourth quarter. But he didn't report it to the team until he made two errors in overtime. "I mean, honestly, probably, after we leave here, I probably won't remember talking to you guys," Dickerson told reporters afterward. He said he believes this is the third concussion of his career.

Lions signed TE Dorin Dickerson.
It's a sign the Lions don't expect Tony Scheffler (concussion) back any time soon. Dickerson will likely slide in at No. 3 on the depth chart behind Brandon Pettigrew and Joseph Fauria, though the Lions also have rookie Michael Williams.

The Bills have moved Dorin Dickerson back to tight end.
It's a smart move by Dickerson -- who personally requested the change -- because the Bills are weak at tight end. He was initially slated to practice at wide receiver under the new coaching staff. Dickerson also plays H-back.

Bills re-signed TE/WR Dorin Dickerson.
Dickerson broke the news on his Twitter account, which was good enough for the Bills' official website. The H-Back was a minuscule part of the offense last season, catching just nine passes in 11 games. Teams will be forever intrigued by his athleticism, but Dickerson's role should remain small in 2013.

WGR 550 Buffalo "wouldn't be surprised at all" if H-Back Dorin Dickerson cracks the Bills' 53-man roster.
Dickerson impressed as he racked up first-team reps throughout the Bills' offseason program, leading both WGR and the Buffalo Times to give him a fighting chance of earning a roster spot. However, even if Dickerson finally finds a home, his offensive role is expected to be limited. Per the Times, coach Chan Gailey is "considering" reintegrating the H-Back - a tight end who lines up off the line of scrimmage - into his offense.

Bills H-Back Dorin Dickerson has seen a "heck of a lot of" reps with the first-team offense at OTAs.
Dickerson was impressive at the 2010 combine, but wasn't selected until the seventh round by the Texans. He's also had stops with the Steelers and Patriots, but finally has a shot to make a 53-man roster as the Bills' third tight end. He won't make a fantasy impact.
