Sent to injured reserve The Lions placed Raymond (foot) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Raymond will miss at least the Lions' next four games and will be eligible to return in Week 17 against the 49ers. In a corresponding move, the Lions signed WR Maurice Alexander off the practice squad to the active roster. He and veteran Allen Robinson will be candidates to see increased work as Detroit's No. 4 receiver, but Detroit could simply opt to use more multi-RB and multi-TE sets.

NFC-leading Lions host Bears on Thanksgiving, trying to stop 7-game losing streak on the holiday
The NFC-leading Detroit Lions will play the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving at homeNOVEMBER 27 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bound for IR The Lions are expected to place Raymond (foot) on injured reserve prior to Thursday's game against the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Raymond had been listed as a non-participant on the Lions' first two Week 13 practice reports, and head coach Dan Campbell intimated Tuesday that he wasn't confident the wideout would be ready to play Thanksgiving Day. Campbell also added that Raymond was scheduled to receive a second opinion on the foot injury he sustained in Sunday's win over the Colts, and the receiver's expected move to IR suggests the Lions weren't overly encouraged by his prognosis. On a positive note, Rapoport adds that Raymond is still expected to return for the playoffs at the very latest, and he might be ready to come off IR when first eligible in Week 17. Raymond's expected absence for the next few weeks should open more reps for Allen Robinson as the Lions' No. 4 receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee), Jameson Williams and Tim Patrick.

In jeopardy of missing Week 13 Raymond (foot) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough.
Impact Raymond suffered a foot injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts. Head coach Dan Campbell relayed Tuesday that he doesn't feel good about Raymond's chances of playing Thursday against the Bears, and the team is waiting on a second opinion for the 30-year-old wideout's foot injury, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. Raymond has served as the Lions' primary punt returner this season and has registered 390 punt return yards and one touchdown while adding 16 catches (on 21 targets) for 204 yards and two touchdowns across 11 regular-season games. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Khalil Dorsey and Craig Reynolds would be the top candidates to take over punt return duties should Raymond be sidelined.
NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Estimated as DNP Raymond (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact The 30-year-old exited Detroit's Week 12 win over the Colts after sustaining a foot injury in the third quarter, so Monday's estimated DNP comes as no surprise. Raymond will likely have to practice in some capacity in order to suit up for Thursday's game against the Bears. If he's unable to do so, Amon-Ra St. Brown will likely serve as the Lions' top punt returner.
NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Will not return Sunday Raymond (foot) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts.
Impact The wide receiver and punt returner got injured on a third quarter punt return. Raymond did not catch his only target on the day before exiting, though he did return two punts for 30 yards. Allen Robinson might see more snaps in his absence.
NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Injures foot Sunday, iffy to return Raymond is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 12 matchup against Indianapolis due to a foot injury, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Raymond's injury occurred on a third-quarter punt return. He got one target (which he didn't catch) in addition to returning two punts for 30 yards prior to his exit. If Raymond can't get back into the game Sunday, Allen Robinson could see more snaps on offense.
NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Two catches in Week 11 Raymond caught both of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 52-6 win over Jacksonville.
Impact Raymond was able to secure a pair of catches after going without a reception in Week 10 against the Texans, notching his highest yardage total since Week 7. The wide receiver continues to operate as a small piece in a massively successful Detroit offense, reeling in 16 catches for 204 yards over 10 games in 2024.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Absent from injury report Raymond (cramps) was not listed on Detroit's injury report Thursday.
Impact Raymond left Sunday's game against the Texans due to cramps, but it's not an issue that will jeopardize his chances of playing against the Jaguars in Week 11. Through nine regular-season games, Raymond has logged 14 catches (on 17 targets) for 174 yards and two touchdowns.
NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable to return Sunday night Raymond (cramps) is questionable to return to Sunday night's game against the Texans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Detroit's punt returner returned three on the evening for 15 total yards. Raymond has 330 punt return yards and a touchdown this season, as well as 14 catches for 174 yards and two scores. Craig Reynolds is Detroit's backup kick returner to Khalil Dorsey.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
One catch in Week 9 Raymond caught his only target for 12 yards while also recording a loss of 12 yards on a carry in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers.
Impact Raymond was unable to make it three games in a row with a receiving touchdown, seeing just one target while playing 21 offensive snaps in Week 9. The wide receiver didn't see a major bump in usage over the last two weeks with Jameson Williams (suspension) unavailable, reeling in all three of his targets for 26 yards and a touchdown. With Williams set to return in Week 10, Raymond will revert back to being the No. 3 option at wide receiver with Detroit moving forward.

Scores twice in Week 8 Raymond caught both of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown while also notching a 90-yard punt return touchdown in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans.
Impact Raymond was expected to take on a larger offensive workload with Jameson Williams (suspension) unavailable and he made the most of his limited touches in Week 8. The wide receiver opened the scoring in the second half, returning a punt for a score, before later adding a seven-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. Raymond will have one more opportunity to step up in the absence of Williams in Week 9 versus the Packers.
