Kalif Raymond's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Detroit Lions have placed wide receiver Kalif Raymond (foot) on injured reserve, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Raymond suffered the injury last Sunday and could miss the minimum four games before returning in Week 17. At the very latest, Detroit expects to have him back for the NFL playoffs. The 30-year-old receiver has played in 11 games this season, catching 16 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns. Fantasy managers can stay away from Raymond as long as both Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams remain healthy down the stretch.

Detroit Lions wide receiver/kick returner Kalif Raymond (foot) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice for the second straight day, making it more unlikely that he won't be available for the team this Thursday on Thanksgiving versus the division-rival Chicago Bears. The 30-year-old is getting a second opinion on the foot injury he suffered in the Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts, and the Lions already expressed earlier this week that they don't love Raymond's chances of suiting up on a short week. They'll most likely hold him out against the Bears and hope he can make it back to play in Week 13 for another divisional showdown against the Green Bay Packers. His primary value to Detroit comes as their top punt returner, as he has only 16 receptions for 204 yards and two TDs on 21 targets in 11 games in 2024.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (foot) was held without a catch in Sunday's win over the Colts. That type of showing from the 30-year-old isn't surprising. But there is still concern after he exited the contest and didn't return because of a foot injury. While there hasn't been much more information released since Raymond's premature departure, head coach Dan Campbell indicated the wideout's injury is "a little more serious" than the other Lions' players who exited in Week 12. There should be an update soon. However, there's a chance Raymond won't be on the field for Thursday's meeting with NFC North showdown with the Bears.
