Set to play Thursday Chark (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest against the Bills.
Impact Chark put an end to a six-game absence this past Sunday at the Giants, but he logged only 10 offensive snaps and didn't haul in his only target. This week, he followed up back-to-back limited listings on Lions injury reports with an uncapped session Wednesday, so he appears to be a bit more healthy ahead of his fifth outing of the season. If Josh Reynolds (back, questionable) joins Chark as active Thursday, the two may play behind both Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond.

Remains limited Tuesday Chark (ankle) was limited in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Impact With another limited listing on Week 12 injury reports behind him, Chark has one more opportunity to get back to full ahead of Thursday's game against the Bills. Assuming he's able to suit up, he'll be looking to increase his snap share (16 percent) and target count (one) from this past Sunday's win at the Giants. With fellow wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond healthy, though, an active Chark may not see many looks from quarterback Jared Goff.
NOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as limited Monday Chark (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report.
Impact Making his first appearance since Week 3 during Sunday's road win against the Giants, Chark handled a rotational role behind starters Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond. Chark earned just 11 of 67 snaps on offense and didn't haul in his only target, while St. Brown (60 snaps) and Raymond (57) got most of the work among Lions wide receivers. Considering his usage and current status on Detroit's first practice report of Week 12, Chark's ankle isn't yet 100 percent, and he may not be in line for many plays Thursday versus the Bills.

Comes off injured reserve Chark (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.
Impact The deep-threat specialist should return to the starting lineup with Josh Reynolds (back) out for a third straight game. It's been a disappointing Lions tenure for Chark as the 26-year-old had just seven receptions for 98 yards in three games before suffering an ankle injury that kept him out of the subsequent six contests. The imminent debut of rookie Jameson Williams (knee) clouds the rest-of-season projections for Chark, but he should be poised for a relatively intriguing Week 11 outing against an inconsistent Giants defense.

Returning to practice Head coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday that Chark (ankle) has been designated for return from injured reserve, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact The transaction thus opens a 21-day window for the Lions to evaluate Chark in practice without him counting toward the 53-man active roster. The speedy wideout hasn't played since Week 3, but once activated, he'll likely step back in as a starter alongside No. 1 receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Per Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com, the Lions also hope to open the practice window on Jameson Williams (knee) after Thanksgiving Day.

Lions WR St. Brown ruled out against Cowboys with concussion
Detroit Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been ruled out in the first half against the Dallas Cowboys because of a concussionOCTOBER 23, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lands on IR Chark (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Even with the bye week Chark still wasn't able to get on the practice field this week, essentially setting the stage for this designation. The speedy wide receiver won't be eligible to return until mid-November, leaving the likes of Josh Reynolds (ankle), Tom Kennedy and Kalif Raymond to take on an expanded role.

Ruled out again despite bye Chark (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Dallas.
Impact Chark missed the last two games before a Week 6 bye and still hasn't returned to practice. Fellow wideout Josh Reynolds (ankle) is listed as questionable, further increasing the odds that depth receivers Tom Kennedy and Kalif Raymond see targets Sunday. Chark's next chance to play is Sunday, Oct. 30 against the Dolphins.

Doesn't practice Thursday Chark (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Impact Even with the benefit of a Week 6 bye, Chark isn't showing any sign that a return to action is imminent. In fact, he was seen wearing a walking boot Thursday, which he relayed to Kyle Meinke of MLive.com is a precautionary measure to expedite his recovery effort. Both Chark and Josh Reynolds (knee) have been unable to practice this week, and if they're sidelined Sunday at Dallas, the Lions' receiving corps would be whittled down to Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy among options on the active roster.

Not ready to practice Chark (ankle) isn't in line to practice Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Chark has missed the Lions' last two games, and his expected non-participation at practice Wednesday suggests that his status for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys remains cloudy. If he remains out this weekend, Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond would once again be in line for added opportunities in Week 7 alongside top wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown.
