Kalif Raymond - Second Detroit WR on COVID-19 list The Lions placed Raymond on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
Impact Raymond becomes the second Detroit receiver to go on the list this week, joining Josh Reynolds. The 27-year-old theoretically has a chance to test out of the protocol before Sunday's game against the Seahawks if he's vaccinated and asymptomatic of the virus, but he'll most likely miss his first game of the season, given the timing of his placement on the list. If both Raymond and Reynolds are out this weekend, Detroit would have to rely on Tom Kennedy, KhaDarel Hodge and Trinity Benson to mix in for reps behind No. 1 wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Jared Goff - Doesn't practice again Thursday Goff (knee) was held out of practice Thursday.
Impact Goff's knee injury was masked by the fact he landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list one day removed from getting hurt. On Wednesday, he revealed that he picked it up in his last appearance Week 15 against the Cardinals, and while he's considered day-to-day he may be trending toward an absence Sunday in Seattle, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Goff has another shot to mix into practice Friday before the Lions potentially decide his fate for Week 17. If Goff is sidelined, Tim Boyle will earn his third start of the season this weekend.
