Lions' Craig Reynolds: Three carries in win
Craig Reynolds rushed the ball three times for three yards in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans.Reynolds remained a non-factor on offense in Week 8, even in a blowout. The running back has found touches hard to come by in the backfield this season, operating as a distant third option behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Through seven games in 2024, Reynolds has turned nine carries into 24 yards.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Added work in blowout win
Craig Reynolds rushed the ball six times for 21 yards in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.Reynolds saw some garbage-time work with the game well in hand for Detroit in the fourth quarter, logging his first offensive touches of the year. The 28-year-old remains a distant third option at running back behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs while keeping a slight edge over rookie Sione Vaki for that No. 3 spot.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Fails to log offensive snap
Craig Reynolds did not log a snap on offense in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams.Reynolds is buried behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs on the running back depth chart and was limited to 18 special-teams snaps in Week 1. Rookie Sione Vaki was able to garner two snaps with the offense, but it's unclear whether Reynolds or Vaki can be considered Detroit's No. 3 running back at this moment. Barring an injury ahead of them, neither will hold much fantasy value.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Cleared from injury report
Craig Reynolds (leg) was not listed on the Detroit Lions' estimated injury report Wednesday.Reynolds' absence from the report is good news for the Kutztown product. Although it is worth noting that Detroit did not hold a practice Wednesday, so his participation in practice was just an estimate. It should confirm previous reports that he was expected to be ready Week 1. He'll likely compete with Sione Vaki for a limited number of snaps Sunday against the Rams, behind the Lions' backfield duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Leaves practice with leg injury
Craig Reynolds left Thursday's practice with a leg issue but avoided a serious injury, Jared Ramsey of Detroit Free Press reports.While Reynolds reportedly did avoid a serious injury, his leg problem could keep him out of Detroit's final preseason game against the Steelers this Saturday. The 5-foot-11 running back is looking to secure the RB3 spot over rookie fourth-round pick Sione Vaki ahead of the season, but Reynolds will need to stay healthy if he wants to be a part of the backfield at any capacity this season.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Plays first preseason drive
Craig Reynolds ran for five yards on one carry and caught one pass for three yards in Saturday's preseason game against Kansas City.Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) and David Montgomery both took a rest day here, and Reynolds claimed the first touch at running back for Detroit. It's not clear how settled the competition might be between Reynolds and rookie fourth-round pick Sione Vaki, but the fact that Reynolds played first Saturday would seemingly hint that Reynolds is the current favorite for the RB3 role, if only because Reynolds already earned some benefit of the doubt from head coach Dan Campbell in the previous three years. The Detroit Lions are fully expected to keep Vaki on the roster as well, but at 216 pounds Reynolds likely offers a bit more power than Vaki (5-foot-11, 210 pounds), while Vaki might offer more elusiveness and receiving upside.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Competing for No. 3 role
Craig Reynolds had four carries for 11 yards in Thursday's 14-3 loss to the Giants.Reynolds enters the 2024 campaign in a battle for the No. 3 running back role behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, competing with rookie Sione Vaki for that spot. Vaki turned four carries into 29 yards versus New York, including a 15-yard scamper in the second quarter. It's hard to read too much into usage in the preseason, but Reynolds saw nine offensive snaps while Vaki was on the field for 13. Reynolds appeared in all 17 regular-season games with Detroit in 2023 and likely still has the edge to open the season above Vaki on the depth chart.
