Former Lions WR Quintez Cephus, who was reinstated last week after being suspended all of last season for violating the league’s gambling policy, has reached agreement with the Buffalo Bills.

Many expected the Bills to add a couple of pass catchers in the NFL Draft, but beyond Keon Coleman and running back Ray Davis, they stayed mum. Cephus will be allotted a chance to carve out a role on special teams and could operate as the team's WR4/5.

NFL suspended 5 players, including Lions WR Jameson Williams, for violations of NFL gambling policy. Lions’ CJ Moore & Quintez Cephus, plus Commanders Shaka Toney, are suspended indefinitely (at least 1 year). Williams & Detroit’s Stanley Berryhill are suspended 6 games.

This puts a giant wrench into the further development of Williams, who was only healthy for six games during his rookie season, catching one-of-eight targets for a 41-yard touchdown. This could clear the way for a heavier role for veteran Marvin Jones, if the team doesn't decide to bolster the position through the NFL Draft.

Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus needed assistance to leave the field on Tuesday after suffering an injury to his leg, but it should not be long before he’s able to rejoin the team at practice.

Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters on Wednesday that Cephus avoided a major injury and is expected to miss a “short period of time” this summer.

It's a potential tough break for Cephus who now faces what looks to be a crowded group of WRs in Detroit.

With Williams still out, St. Brown has a chance to emerge as the top WR for the Lions. He went for 7-65-0 last week. Hodge had one catch in Week 5 and Raymond had two TDs in Week 4 before vanishing in Week 5, collecting just two targets. TE T.J. Hockenson will likely remain QB Jared Goff's top target and RBs D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams could be more active as well in the passing game.

The Lions have been looking for WRs to step up this season and form chemistry with Jared Goff. It'll be an extended absence and potentially season-ending for Cephus, who has been a bright spot in Detroit's challenging start, the story said. The team is waiting for Williams to return while guys like St. Brown, Raymond, and Hodge, who caught a TD pass this past weekend, look to take over the top-three spots. Benson and Kennedy are also among the names on the depth chart.

Lions HC Dan Campbell told reporters Wednesday that WR Tyrell Williams (concussion) is not expected to play Week 3 against the Ravens.

Williams has not progressed through the league's concussion protocol and with the negative light casted on his availability already, may be in doubt to play Week 4.

First of many cuts this week is a notable one: Lions have released WR Breshad Perriman, per source.

We ranked Perriman as the team's third WR in our rankings, but with him gone, it now opens up a spot for the WR3 spot behind Williams and St. Brown. While it's not a highly-desired fantasy option, it could mean those next up on the depth chart, Cephus, Allison or Raymond, could have a bit of a larger role.

Quintez Cephus was back today, after missing about a week.

The tweet said Cephus had a nice TD grab on a slant from the slot during a 7-on-7, red-zone drill. The tweet also added that Cephus might not be exactly what this regime wants, athletically, but he's still an inside/outside WR who runs really sharp routes. We have Cephus ranked fourth among the Lion receivers. The good news is, the Lions will likely be playing from behind a lot this year so there could be opportunity to climb the rankings.

No position has been hit harder than receiver, where Tyrell Williams (groin/dislocated finger), Breshad Perriman (hip), Quintez Cephus (head) and Damion Ratley (unknown) have all missed time in recent days.

Williams was back on the field Monday, the story said, but Perriman, Cephus and Ratley remained out. The story went on to say that forced the Lions to promote Kalif Raymond and Victor Bolden to the starting lineup on Monday, plus sign free agent Darius Jennings.
