Gets new deal with Detroit The Lions signed Berryhill to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Impact Berryhill appeared in four games with Detroit in 2022, though he wasn't targeted across his six offensive snaps. He spent time with the Falcons and Cardinals after going undrafted out of Arizona, before ending up on the Lions practice squad back in October and sticking with the team.

Returns to practice squad Berryhill reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic.
Impact Berryhill was bumped up from Detroit's practice squad for the second game in a row after being let go from the team's active roster Nov. 7. However, the 5-foot-9 receiver was once again a nonfactor on offense, as he did not record a statistic while playing just three of his 14 snaps in this phase. The Lions will likely exercise Berryhill's last available practice-squad elevation if wideouts Josh Reynolds (back) and DJ Chark (ankle) remain sidelined for the team's Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Giants.

Bumped up to active roster Detroit elevated Berryhill from its practice squad Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Giants.
Impact Berryhill will be active for a fourth straight game. He's played primarily on special teams in his other three appearances and hasn't seen a target yet. Josh Reynolds (back) has been ruled out, but the Lions will have DJ Chark available for the first time since Week 3, leaving Berryhill buried on the offensive depth chart once again.
NOVEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Back to practice squad Berryhill reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Impact Berryhill received his third elevation of the season, as the Lions have dealt with multiple injuries throughout their wide receiver corps this season. The 24-year-old saw just two snaps on offense Sunday against the Bears, but he did contribute on special teams, including recording a tackle on punt coverage.

Elevated from practice squad Detroit elevated Berryhill from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Bears.
Impact It will be the third consecutive week Berryhill is active for the Lions and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would have to be added to the team's 53-man roster in order to suit up. He's played just one offensive snap through two weeks.

Re-signed to practice squad The Lions re-signed Berryhill to their practice squad Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.
Impact Berryhill was signed to the active roster ahead of a Week 9 win over the Packers, and he logged one offensive snap and seven special-teams snaps in the contest. He was subsequently waived Monday but has now returned to Detroit's practice squad. Even if he makes it back up to the active roster, Berryhill isn't likely to see much work on offense.

Signed to active roster Berryhill was signed to the Lions' active roster Saturday.
Impact Berryhill was active for the first time in Week 8, but he'll have the chance to make an impact for the rest of the season with Detroit's wide receiver corps currently depleted. He'll still be relatively buried on the depth chart and is likely to serve primarily on special teams.

Returns to practice squad Monday Berryhill reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact With Amon-Ra St. Brown questionable due to a concussion, Berryhill was elevated to the active roster and made his season debut in Week 8. However, St. Brown was ultimately deemed available, leaving Berryhill to play exclusively on special teams. The Lions appear to have avoided any further injuries to their wideout corps during the loss to Miami, so it's unlikely Berryhill sees another elevation in Week 9.
OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Could make season debut Detroit elevated Berryhill from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's matchup against Miami.
Impact Berryhill joined the Lions' practice squad in mid-October after being cut by Arizona and will have a chance to make his season debut in Week 8 after being elevated to the active roster. Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) is questionable, but even if Detroit is without its top wideout, it's unlikely Berryhill sees a large enough offensive role to be fantasy relevant.

Inks with Detroit's practice squad Berryhill signed with the Lions' practice squad Wednesday.
Impact Berryhill was let go as part of the Falcons' final roster cuts before eventually joining the Cardinals' practice squad ahead of Week 3. The undrafted wideout was then cut by Arizona on Tuesday, and he will now look to carve out a more consistent spot with Detroit's practice squad. In a corresponding move, the Lions placed defensive back Saivion Smith on the practice squad IR.
OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joins Arizona's practice squad The Cardinals signed Berryhill to the practice squad Wednesday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact With Rondale Moore (hamstring) possibly out for awhile and Andy Isabella (back) facing a second straight absence, the Cardinals signed Berryhill and C.J. Board to the practice squad as added depth. Arizona is also without DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) until Week 7, so Marquise Brown, A.J. Green and Greg Dortch are expected to lead the passing attack for foreseeable future, though Zach Ertz may continue to see an increased role as well.

Eye on the Undrafted: Stanley Berryhill has right skill, mindset to push for Falcons roster spot Former University of Arizona walk-on has consistently made plays early in training camp
AUGUST 7, 2022 • ATLANTAFALCONS.COM
Inks deal with Atlanta Berryhill has signed with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.
Impact Berryhill spent four years at Arizona, finishing his final campaign with 744 yards on 83 receptions and one touchdown while tacking on 121 yards rushing on 19 attempts in 12 games. He finished top five in the Pac-12 in both receptions and receiving yards while also chipping in on punt returns. Berryhill will work to impress in camp and earn a shot with the Falcons.
