Dominic Lovett - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Relegated to special teams Lovett went without a target while playing two of the Lions' 62 snaps on offense in Thursday's 44-30 win over the Cowboys.

Impact The rookie wideout has been active for all but one of Detroit's 13 games this season, but he's been used almost exclusively on special teams. He's played 14 offensive snaps in total and has yet to draw a target.

Limited to special teams in Week 7 Lovett logged all 11 of his snaps on special teams Monday in the Lions' 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact A rookie seventh-round wideout of Georgia, Lovett has suited up for each of the Lions' first seven games but has played just seven total snaps on offense. Unless Detroit's depth at receiver takes a hit, Lovett should continue to see the overwhelming majority of his playing time on special teams, where he has a role on the Lions' coverage units.

Nabs two catches against Miami Lovett (abdomen) caught two passes (on three targets) for 14 yards during the Lions' 24-17 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday.

Impact Lovett had been sidelined due to an abdominal injury, but he was cleared to play Saturday after going through pre-game warmups without a setback. He didn't make much of an impact on offense, but he recovered a fumble on a muffed punt, which led to a 33-yard field goal by Jake Bates eight plays later. Lovett has a path to make the Lions' 53-man roster as a contributor on special teams. The rookie seventh rounder's final chance to audition for a roster spot will be in Detroit's preseason finale against Houston on Saturday, Aug. 23.

Could return Saturday Lovett (abdomen) is suited up and taking part in special-teams warmups ahead of Saturday's preseason matchup versus the Dolphins, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Lovett was able to play in Detroit's first exhibition contest against the Chargers, tallying five catches on nine targets for 31 yards. However, he hurt his abdomen during practice the following week and missed the Lions' second preseason game, which was against Atlanta last Friday. It appears Lovett -- who returned to practice Thursday -- has made enough progress in his recovery to potentially return to action against the Dolphins, which would be a big boost for him in his bid to earn a roster spot as a depth wideout.

Expected to miss several days Lovett (abdomen) is expected to be sidelined for one-to-two weeks, Benjamin Raven of MLive.com reports.

Impact "Lovett may be 10 days," coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday. "I mean it's just going to take a minute." The seventh-round rookie wide receiver was injured in practice earlier this week after playing 36 offensive snaps in last week's Hall of Fame Game against the Chargers, where Lovett collected five catches for 31 yards on nine targets. He's certain to miss Friday's preseason contest against the Falcons.

Exits practice with abdominal issue Lovett exited Monday's practice with an abdominal injury and was unable to return, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact Lovett was a seventh-round pick out of Georgia, 244th overall, by the Lions back in April. He can't afford to miss many valuable reps he'd be getting in practice and the preseason. Lovett played 36 offensive snaps in last week's Hall of Fame Game against the Chargers, securing five of nine targets for 31 yards.
