The Detroit Lions are keeping WR Kalif Raymond after signing him to a two-year deal.

The little WR corps that could is back together in Detroit and now also boasts D.J. Chark. The Lions should add another wideout in free agency or the draft, making Raymond a waiver wire watch.

Josh Reynolds has tested positive for COVID.

Reynolds was running as the team's WR, and of course had a previous connection with QB Jared Goff dating back to the Rams. Raymond could move up to the WR2 with Reynolds out. St. Brown looks to have established itself as the team's WR1.

starting quarterback Jared Goff suffered a strained oblique late in the first quarter.

Goff said he injured his side on an underthrown deep pass to Kalif Raymond one play after Julian Okwara intercepted Steelers starter Mason Rudolph.

Goff had minus-1 yard passing in the first quarter and was 11 for 20 for 54 yards passing in regulation.

He finished 14 of 25 for 114 yards as the Lions and Steelers tied on a rainy day at Heinz Field, 16-16.

The Lions felt Goff was OK enough to play through the injury. Goff is backed up by Blough but Boyle recently came off the IR and reports say the Lions do like Boyle. It appears Goff is likely not in the long-term plans for the Lions but reports last week said the team is prepared to ride out Goff for the rest of this year as well as 2022. The numbers were pretty bad against the Steelers, however the problem seems to be Goff is the best option at the moment.

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.

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.

Adam Humphries is feeling better Monday after a violent hit from Bengals defensive back Jessie Bates concussed the Titans receiver Sunday.

Officials did not penalize Bates for a hit that appeared to be on a defenseless receiver, causing Humphries briefly to lose consciousness as his head also bounced off the ground, the story said. Raymond could move up to the WR3 role if Humphries misses time.
