Lions' Kalif Raymond: Benefits from pass-heavy script
Kalif 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 Detroit 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
Kalif 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
Kalif 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 Detroit 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
Kalif 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 Detroit 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
Kalif Raymond (ankle) was a limited participant Thursday.Raymond sat out the Detroit 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
Kalif 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
Kalif 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 Detroit 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
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Kalif 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

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.
