Bears' Kalif Raymond: Records top yardage in win
Raymond caught 6-of-7 targets for 90 yards and a touchdown as well as two punt returns for 15 yards in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday.
Despite having three quarterbacks throwing him the ball in as many weeks, Raymond continues to be a top option for the Bears' receiving offense. The wide receiver was second in targets Monday night, second only to Luther Burden (11), who did not manage to exceed Raymond in yards. The returner's additional value on special teams just further adds to his offensive allure as the season continues.

Bears' Kalif Raymond: Stays involved in Week 2 loss
Raymond caught all five targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings.
After leading the Bears in targets (nine) and receiving (8-84-0) in the season-opening win over the Panthers, Raymond remained heavily involved on offense in Sunday's rain-soaked washout against Minnesota. His five targets were two fewer than Luther Burden, but Raymond tied D'Andre Swift for the team lead in catches. Raymond appears to have a tight grip on WR3 duties in Chicago and has posted 13 catches for 124 yards on 14 targets through two games. With Burden and Colston Loveland yet to really get going offensively, Raymond figures to be hurt the most when those two start earning more targets.

Bears' Kalif Raymond: Eight catches in win
Raymond caught eight of his nine targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 59-37 win over the Panthers.
Raymond caught the most passes for the Bears in Week 1 while also being targeted nearly twice as much as the next closest target (Luther Burden with five). The Bears' rushing game was the star of the show, totaling 291 yards and six touchdowns, but Raymond was the centerpiece of the passing offense in Sunday's win and could maintain this level of attention in future weeks.

Bears' Kalif Raymond: Drawing strong praise in camp
Raymond has made a strong impression in his first five months with Chicago, with Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic relaying coach Ben Johnson's praise Monday and calling him "the most selfless player I've ever been around."
With Raymond joining the Bears on a one-year deal earlier in the offseason, Johnson's comments highlight the veteran wide receiver's standing in the building with Week 1 approaching. The praise suggests Raymond is making a positive case for a supporting receiver role and special-teams work.

Bears' Kalif Raymond: Joins NFC North rivals
Raymond is set to join the Bears on a one-year contract, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Raymond spent the past five years in Detroit returning punts and kickoffs while typically serving as the third or fourth receiver. He'll turn 32 before Week 1 in 2026 but should be able to handle a similar role for the Bears. The move to Chicago reunites Raymond with head coach Ben Johnson, formerly the offensive coordinator for the Lions.

Lions' Kalif Raymond: Most value as special-teams asset
Raymond caught 24 of 30 targets for 289 yards and one touchdown while also adding 19 yards on two carries over 15 contests during the regular season. He also added 161 kickoff-return yards and 241 yards and a score as a punt returner.
Raymond finished fifth on the team in receiving yards while his one receiving touchdown ranked fourth at his position behind Amon-Ra St. Brown (11), Jameson Williams (seven) and Isaac TeSlaa (six) this season. The wideout was able to reel in seven more passes than he did during the 2024 campaign, but his 24 catches still represented the second fewest of his five seasons in Detroit. Raymond appears to be most valuable as a special-teams asset, and he'll enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

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.
