Lions' Kalif Raymond: Sent to injured reserve
The Lions placed Raymond (foot) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Raymond will miss at least the Lions' next four games and will be eligible to return in Week 17 against the 49ers. In a corresponding move, the Lions signed wideout Maurice Alexander off the practice squad to the active roster. He and veteran Allen Robinson will be candidates to see increased work as Detroit's No. 4 receiver, but the Lions could simply opt to use more multi-running back and two-tight end sets.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Bound for IR
The Lions are expected to place Raymond (foot) on injured reserve prior to Thursday's game against the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Raymond had been listed as a non-participant on the Lions' first two Week 13 practice reports, and head coach Dan Campbell intimated Tuesday that he wasn't confident the wideout would be ready to play Thanksgiving Day. Campbell also added that Raymond was scheduled to receive a second opinion on the foot injury he sustained in Sunday's win over the Colts, and the receiver's expected move to IR suggests the Lions weren't overly encouraged by his prognosis. On a positive note, Rapoport adds that Raymond is still expected to return for the playoffs at the very latest, and he might be ready to come off IR when first eligible in Week 17. Raymond's expected absence for the next few weeks should open more reps for Allen Robinson as the Lions' No. 4 receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee), Jameson Williams and Tim Patrick.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: In jeopardy of missing Week 13
Raymond (foot) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough.
Raymond suffered a foot injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts. Head coach Dan Campbell relayed Tuesday that he doesn't feel good about Raymond's chances of playing Thursday against the Bears, and the team is waiting on a second opinion for the 30-year-old wideout's foot injury, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. Raymond has served as the Lions' primary punt returner this season and has registered 390 punt return yards and one touchdown while adding 16 catches (on 21 targets) for 204 yards and two touchdowns across 11 regular-season games. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Khalil Dorsey and Craig Reynolds would be the top candidates to take over punt return duties should Raymond be sidelined.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Estimated as DNP
Raymond (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
The 30-year-old exited Detroit's Week 12 win over the Colts after sustaining a foot injury in the third quarter, so Monday's estimated DNP comes as no surprise. Raymond probably will have to practice in some capacity in order to suit up for Thursday's game against the Bears. If Raymond is unable to do so, Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) likely would serve as the Lions' top punt returner.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Will not return Sunday
Raymond (foot) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts.
The wide receiver and punt returner got injured on a third-quarter punt return. Raymond did not catch his only target on the day before exiting, though he did return two punts for 30 yards. Allen Robinson might see more snaps in his absence.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Injures foot Sunday, iffy to return
Raymond is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 12 matchup against Indianapolis due to a foot injury, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Raymond's injury occurred on a third-quarter punt return. He got one target (which he didn't catch) in addition to returning two punts for 30 yards prior to his exit. If Raymond can't get back into the game Sunday, Allen Robinson could see more snaps on offense.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Two catches in Week 11
Raymond caught both of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 52-6 win over Jacksonville.
Raymond was able to secure a pair of catches after going without a reception in Week 10 against the Texans, notching his highest yardage total since Week 7. The wide receiver continues to operate as a small piece in a massively successful Detroit offense, reeling in 16 catches for 204 yards over 10 games in 2024.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Absent from injury report
Raymond (cramps) wasn't listed on Detroit's initial Week 11 injury report issued Wednesday.
Raymond left Sunday's 26-23 game against the Texans after experiencing cramping, but his absence from the injury report suggests he's fully healthy heading into a Week 11 matchup with the Jaguars. With Jameson Williams returning from a two-game suspension last week, Raymond saw his snap share on offense drop to 26 percent, his lowest rate since Week 7. While he'll continue to serve as Detroit's top punt returner, Raymond's role on offense could become more muted while all of Williams, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Tim Patrick are available.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Questionable to return Sunday night
Raymond (cramps) is questionable to return to Sunday night's game against the Texans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Detroit's punt returner returned three on the evening for 15 total yards. Raymond has 330 punt return yards and a touchdown this season, as well as 14 catches for 174 yards and two scores. Craig Reynolds is Detroit's backup kick returner to Khalil Dorsey.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: One catch in Week 9
Raymond caught his only target for 12 yards while also recording a loss of 12 yards on his lone carry in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers.
Raymond was unable to extend his touchdown streak to three games, seeing limited volume while playing 21 offensive snaps. He didn't see a major bump in usage over the last two weeks with Jameson Williams (suspension) unavailable, and with the Lions' No. 2 WR set to return in Week 10, Raymond will get bumped back down the depth chart.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Scores twice in Week 8
Raymond caught both of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown while also notching a 90-yard punt return touchdown in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans.
Raymond was expected to take on a larger offensive workload with Jameson Williams (suspension) unavailable, and he made the most of his limited touches in Week 8. The wide receiver opened the scoring in the second half, returning a punt for a score, before later adding a seven-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. Raymond will have one more opportunity to step up in the absence of Williams in Week 9 versus the Packers.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Role could increase sans Williams
Raymond could be the beneficiary of increased snaps due to Jameson Williams serving a two-game suspension and set to miss contests Sunday against the Titans and in Week 9 at Green Bay, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Amon-Ra St. Brown remains locked in as the Lions' No. 1 wideout, but Williams' absence will likely free up more snaps and perhaps an extra target or two for the likes of Raymond, Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson, while tight end Sam LaPorta could also see more involvement in the passing game after a slow start to the season. The 5-foot-8, 180-pound Raymond -- who clocked a 4.34-second 40-yard dash time coming out of college in 2016 -- is probably the Lions' best option to replace the downfield routes and gadget plays that were often designed for Williams, though Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson may not dial up those kind of play calls as frequently with Williams out of the lineup. While playing fewer than 40 percent of the snaps in both of the past two weeks, Raymond was able to make an impact during his limited time in the field, recording seven catches for 112 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Notches first touchdown of 2024
Raymond caught three of four targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Vikings.
Raymond found the end zone for the first time in 2024, notching a 21-yard score in the third quarter. The wide receiver has now caught seven passes for 112 yards and a touchdown over the last two weeks after having just four receptions for 36 yards in the team's four games prior. Raymond will look to keep it up in Week 9 when the Lions host the Titans.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Four catches in Week 6
Raymond caught four of six targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.
Raymond played 24 offensive snaps in the victory over Dallas, his highest total since Week 2, and he turned his added opportunities into a season high in both catches and yardage. Entering play Sunday, the wide receiver had only seen five total targets on the year, and he still remains buried behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Tim Patrick on Detroit's depth chart. Through five games in 2024, Raymond has caught eight of 11 targets for 109 yards.
