Trinity Benson - Healthy scratch Sunday Benson (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Impact Benson has been managing a knee issue in recent weeks, but the injury doesn't seem to be keeping him off the field Sunday, as he practiced fully Thursday and Friday, and didn't take an injury designation into the weekend. Instead, Benson appears to have simply fallen down the depth chart at receiver, with the Lions' recent addition of Josh Reynolds effectively costing him a regular role on offense. Benson played 69 percent of the Lions' offense snaps in his most recent outing Week 10 in Pittsburgh, but he's now inactive for the third week in a row after the knee injury was attributed to his prior two absences.
