Green (concussion) reverted to Detroit's reserve/injured list Tuesday after clearing waivers, per the NFL transaction log.
Green hauled in all three of his targets for 13 yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Giants before leaving due to a concussion he sustained on a block attempt in the second quarter. The 2023 seventh-round pick was getting reps with the Lions' first-team offense alongside wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams early in training camp. However, now that he's on IR, Green will be forced to miss the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Detroit.

The Lions waived Green (concussion) with an injury designation Monday.
Green was a seventh-round pick by Detroit in 2023, but he will now head to waivers. The 24-year-old will look to catch on with another team after he recovers from a concussion suffered during last week's preseason matchup versus the Giants.

Lions' Antoine Green: Suffers concussion Thursday
Rotowire
Green suffered a concussion in Thursday night's preseason loss to the Giants, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Green was injured on a block attempt in the second quarter. Prior to leaving, Green had reeled in all three of his targets for 13 yards. A seventh-round pick out of North Carolina last year, Green is trying to win a job behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams in Detroit's wide-open wideout group.

Lions' Antoine Green: Active against Vikings
Rotowire
Green did not catch a pass during Sunday's 30-20 win over the Vikings.
Green was active for the first time since Week 10 but did not get any work in the passing game. Even if Jameson Williams (ankle) and/or Kalif Raymond (knee) miss time in the playoffs, Green is highly unlikely to make much of a dent in the box score.

Lions' Antoine Green: Snap share spikes
Rotowire
Green was targeted once but did not catch a pass during Sunday's 38-6 loss to Baltimore.
With Marvin Jones (personal) being ruled out before Kalif Raymond (hamstring) went down with an in-game injury, Green more than doubled his previous career high in offensive snaps -- seeing just as many as Jameson Williams -- while remaining a key figure on special teams. Should Jones and Raymond continue to miss time, Green could continue to take on a heightened role in the offense.

Lions' Antoine Green: Playing time rising
Rotowire
Green was not targeted with a pass during Thursday's 34-20 win over Green Bay.
While Green was not targeted with a pass, he has seen his offensive playing time increase in three consecutive weeks while 33-year-old veteran Marvin Jones has seen his role decline. However, Green has yet to see a target since Week 2, and he will need to log more than 21 percent of the offensive snaps he saw Thursday to garner fantasy relevance.

Lions' Antoine Green: Being evaluated
Rotowire
Green is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Green was able to make his first career catch for a two-yard gain earlier in the contest, but the rookie receiver will now be sidelined. If he did suffer a concussion, he will have to pass the league's five-step protocols to gain clearance to play Week 3 against the Falcons.

Lions' Antoine Green: No snaps in season opener
Rotowire
Green did not log a snap during Thursday's 21-20 win over Kansas City.
Green secured the No. 5 spot on the depth chart coming out of the preseason, but it does not seem as if there is a role for him on offense or special teams despite the six-game suspension of Jameson Williams. However, it is possible that could change if the struggles of 33-year-old Marvin Jones, who logged over half of the offensive snaps, persist in the coming weeks.

Lions' Antoine Green: Goes for 97 yards, TD
Rotowire
Green caught three of four targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 26-17 preseason win over Carolina.
The rookie seventh-round pick made his case for a roster spot at the last second, catching a 70-yard TD in the second quarter while working with Teddy Bridgewater and the second-string offense. Green also got some snaps with the third unit after halftime and finished the 2023 preseason with seven catches for 151 yards and a TD on eight targets (playing all three games). That'll probably be enough to get him a spot on the Week 1 roster, especially with fellow deep threat Jameson Williams (hamstring) set to go on the suspended list early next week.

Lions' Antoine Green: Joins Detroit WR corps
Rotowire
The Lions selected Green in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, 219th overall.
A multi-sport athlete in high school, Green emerged as a valuable deep threat in his final two seasons at North Carolina, averaging over 19 yards per reception. Expect the 23-year-old to compete as an outside receiver for the Lions, who released Quintez Cephus earlier last week.
