Lions' Kalif Raymond: Three catches in Week 2
Kalif Raymond caught three of his four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.Raymond was more involved in the offense in Week 2 after garnering zero targets in the regular-season opener. The wide receiver saw the majority of his production come on an 18-yard reception in the fourth quarter as he remained No. 3 on the depth chart behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, who combined to see 30 targets. Raymond was once again Detroit's punt returner in the loss, compiling 32 yards on three returns.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Fails to garner target in win
Kalif Raymond did not draw a target while turning one carry into 12 yards in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams.Raymond operated as the Detroit Lions' No. 3 wide receiver Sunday, but he failed to make a major mark on the contest. His only offensive touch came in overtime when he opened Detroit's game-winning drive with a 12-yard run. Raymond also returned three punts for 18 total yards in the game. The 30-year-old is buried underneath the likes of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta and Jahmyr Gibbs in the passing game, limiting his fantasy upside in the early going.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Looks set as No. 3 receiver
Kalif Raymond appears to have solidified himself as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.Raymond is positioned to replace the departed Josh Reynolds as the No. 3 wide receiver, though given the importance of TE Sam LaPorta (hamstring) and RB Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) in the passing game, that isn't a role that will necessarily translate to regular targets. Pouncy notes that Donovan Peoples-Jones and Daurice Fountain have also made some noise at training camp, but barring any additions to the wide receiver room, Raymond looks set to start in three-wide sets. He will have a chance to further entrench himself during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Taking part in OTAs
Kalif Raymond (knee) participated in the Detroit Lions' OTA session Wednesday.He missed the entirety of the Lions' playoff run last season after being injured in the regular-season finale, but Raymond looks to be back to full health well in advance of training camp. Raymond is currently penciled in as the Lions' third receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams after Josh Reynolds left as a free agent and after Detroit didn't draft a single wideout last month. Raymond's primary competition will come from Donovan Peoples-Jones and 2023 seventh-round pick Antoine Green.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Totals 564 yards in 2023
Kalif Raymond (knee) caught 35 passes (on 44 targets) for 489 yards with one touchdown while rushing seven times for 75 yards over 17 regular-season games in 2023.While he didn't reach the four touchdowns he scored in 2021 or the 652 yards he totaled in 2022, Raymond put together yet another respectable season as a tertiary option in Detroit's high-flying offense while pitching in at punt returner as well. He rarely needed much playing time to do it, either, given that Raymond topped 30 percent of the offensive snaps in just six games and had more than four targets only twice. With offensive coordinator Ben Johnson surprisingly coming back as Detroit's offensive coordinator, Raymond -- who remains under contract through 2025 -- should be back next season as an interesting gadget player on offense and a key player on special teams.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Won't return Sunday
Kalif Raymond (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, Tim Twentyman of the Detroit Lions' official site reports.The 29-year-old wideout is now set to miss his third consecutive game after sustaining a knee injury during the Lions' Week 18 win over the Vikings. Donovan Peoples-Jones could be in for a larger role in Detroit's wide receiver corps without Raymond in the NFC Championship Game.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Misses Thursday's practice
Kalif Raymond (knee) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.Since sustaining a knee injury during the Detroit Lions' regular-season finale, Raymond has failed to appear in either of the team's first two playoff games. His chances to play in the NFC Championship Game seem slim after he began Detroit's week of practice with back-to-back DNPs, and he will almost certainly carry an injury designation into the weekend unless he's able to practice in full Friday.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Doesn't participate in walkthrough
Kalif Raymond (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.Raymond has remained out for both of Detroit's first two playoff games after injuring his knee in the team's Week 18 win over the Vikings. When healthy, the 29-year-old serves as a depth receiver and as the Detroit Lions' punt returner, but Donovan Peoples-Jones would see an expanded role on both offense and special teams if Raymond ends up sitting out Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Won't play in divisional round
Kalif Raymond (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's divisional-round contest versus the Buccaneers, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.With no on-field reps to speak of this week, Raymond wasn't in a great position to return to action for the first time since suffering a knee injury in the regular-season finale against the Vikings, and indeed he won't be available to the Detroit Lions offense Sunday. With Raymond sidelined, Detroit will continue to roll with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Josh Reynolds as its top three wide receivers this weekend.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Still not practicing
Kalif Raymond (knee) was a non-participant at practice Thursday.Raymond has yet to experience any on-field work since injuring his knee Week 18 versus the Vikings, but coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday that the wide receiver is "better," and the Detroit Lions won't know for sure if he has a chance to return this weekend until "Friday or Saturday." As a result, Raymond's listing on Friday's practice report may be key in terms of his odds of suiting up for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Buccaneers.
