Lions' Kalif Raymond: Benefits from pass-heavy script
Raymond recorded four receptions on five targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers.
Jared Goff took to the air 54 times, and Raymond took advantage by earning a season-high five targets. He played a key role in the Lions' fourth quarter comeback effort, catching a short pass over the middle before turning upfield for a 27-yard score midway through the fourth quarter. Raymond has still topped 20 receiving yards only three times in 13 games, and he's likely to return to a peripheral role in Week 17 against the Vikings.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Limited workload in return
Raymond caught his only target for 20 yards and added 15 yards on a punt return in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.
Raymond was making his return to action after missing two weeks with an ankle injury, and he was only on the field for 11 offensive plays. He was outpaced by rookie wideout Isaac TeSlaa (39) in offensive snaps, though TeSlaa failed to reel in his only target. Raymond has yet to find the end zone through the air this season, and he's now caught 16 of 20 targets for 170 yards over 12 contests this year.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Set to return against Rams
Raymond (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 15 clash against the Rams.
Raymond missed Detroit's past two games due to an ankle issue, but he was able to log a trio of limited practices this week and is set to return to game action. He had been working as the Lions' No. 3 wideout prior to getting hurt, but with Isaac TeSlaa producing two TDs in the two weeks during Raymond's absence, the pair could be competing for offensive snaps moving forward. Raymond should, however, take back his role as the team's lead punt returner.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Status in question for Sunday
Raymond (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Raymond suffered an ankle injury Week 12 against the Giants and missed the Lions' last two contests as a result. After logging three consecutive limited practices this week, he's put himself in a position to return to action Sunday, but his status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's able to suit up, he could be eased back in, as Isaac TeSlaa has taken on an expanded workload alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams during Raymond's absence.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Reps capped Thursday
Raymond (ankle) was a limited participant Thursday.
Raymond sat out the Lions' last two games due to an ankle injury, but he could be on a path to playing this Sunday versus the Rams after turning in a pair of limited practices to kick off Week 15 prep. If available this weekend, Raymond could take back No. 3 receiver duties from Isaac TeSlaa in addition to serving as Detroit's top punt returner. However, special teams coordinator Dave Fipp told Richard Silva of The Detroit News on Thursday that Tom Kennedy will keep working as Detroit's top kickoff returner after filling in admirably for Raymond in that capacity the past two weeks.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Limited in practice
Raymond (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Raymond missed the past two games, which led to Isaac TeSlaa handling a near-every-down role in an offense that's been using a ton of three-wide looks due to TE injuries. Neither Raymond nor TeSlaa tends to see many targets, but TeSlaa has found some success as a red-zone weapon to complement Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Out for Week 14
Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Cowboys.
Raymond thus will sit out a second game in a row due to an ankle injury that he sustained Week 12. Meanwhile, the Lions are listing top WR Amon-Ra St. Brown as questionable due to his own ankle issue. If St. Brown ends up inactive as well, Jameson Williams will be the clear top option at the position for Detroit, with Isaac TeSlaa, Tom Kennedy and Dominic Lovett also on hand for targets. Raymond's next chance to play is Sunday, Dec. 14 at the Rams.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Likely to miss Week 14
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Raymond (ankle) is unlikely to be available for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Raymond is typically a tertiary target in the Detroit passing attack, but if he hadn't been nursing an ankle injury of his own, he might have been a candidate to see an expanded role Thursday with the status of top wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) uncertain. The Lions will list Raymond as a non-participant Tuesday for the second straight practice, and he's expected to be formally ruled out for the Week 14 game following the release of Wednesday's injury report.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Remains out of practice Monday
Raymond (ankle) did not practice Monday.
Raymond was injured in the Lions' Week 12 win over the Giants and missed last Thursday's loss to the Packers. If both Raymond and Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) are unable to play Thursday night against Dallas, the Lions would likely roll with a three-wide set of Jameson Williams, Isaac TeSlaa and Tom Kennedy. It's also notable that Sam LaPorta (back) remains on injured reserve.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Won't play on Thanksgiving
Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
Raymond made an early exit from Sunday's win over the Giants, leaving rookie Isaac TeSlaa (hand) as the No. 3 receiver in an offense that has cut back on use of multi-TE formations due to injuries. TeSlaa is listed as questionable for Thursday, but he's seemingly on track to play, whereas TEs Sam LaPorta (IR - back) and Brock Wright (neck) definitely will be out.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Sits out practice
Raymond (ankle) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Raymond was unable to return to this past Sunday's overtime win over the Giants due to an ankle injury, and he's now been estimated as a non-participant on each of Detroit's first two Week 13 practice reports. The Lions aren't expected to hold a traditional practice session Wednesday, but Raymond will likely need to take part in at least some on-field activity to have a shot at playing Thursday against the Packers. Raymond's potential absence for the Thanksgiving game could create an opening for rookie Isaac TeSlaa (hand) to see more snaps behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: DNP on Monday
Raymond (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Raymond was forced out of Detroit's overtime win over the Giants in Week 12 late in the third quarter, and he was unable to return to that contest. As a result, the veteran wideout's status for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Packers looks genuinely uncertain. If Raymond is unable to suit up on a short week, rookie third-round pick Isaac TeSlaa (hand) could benefit from increased opportunities behind top receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Won't return to Week 12 matchup
Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Giants.
Raymond was hurt on a play during which he made a seven-yard reception late in the third quarter. The veteran wideout was then ruled out early in the fourth. Raymond caught both of his targets for 37 yards prior to his exit. He also returned a punt for 44 yards.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Injures ankle Sunday
Raymond suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Giants.
Raymond remained on the turf for a spell at the end of a late third-quarter play and eventually was deemed questionable to return. He gathered in both of his targets for 37 yards prior to his exit.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Practices in full Wednesday
Raymond (cramps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Raymond was forced out in the fourth quarter versus the Eagles in Week 10 due to cramps, and although Detroit hosted only a walkthrough practice Wednesday, the veteran wideout appears to have already returned to full health. Expect Raymond to handle his usual No. 3 receiver role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams on Sunday against the Giants.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Battling cramps on SNF
Raymond (cramps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Raymond is dealing with cramps in the fourth quarter. He wasn't targeted prior to the injury on a tough night for Detroit's offense, but Raymond contributed two kickoff returns for 36 yards and three punt returns for three yards on special teams.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Four catches in win
Raymond caught all four of his targets for 49 yards and had a 10-yard rush in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.
Raymond posted season highs in both receptions and receiving yards in Week 10 after he had reeled in just three of four targets for 17 total yards over the team's last four games. The wide receiver remains the team's No. 3 option at his position behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, and considering Sunday represented high-water marks for 31-year-old, his fantasy value remains rather low.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: No catches vs. Minnesota
Raymond failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.
Raymond's role on Detroit's offense has diminished since the beginning of the season, as he's caught just three of four targets for 17 yards over the team's last four contests. He was relatively ineffective as a kick returner in Week 9 as well, tallying only 15 yards across two returns. Despite this underwhelming stretch, the veteran wideout from Holy Cross is expected to remain the Lions' No. 3 receiver and top kick returner heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Commanders.
