Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown active for Thursday night game and Cowboys' Jadeveon Clowney held out

Amon-Ra St. Brown is active for the Detroit Lions against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • Associated Press

Out for Week 14 Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Cowboys.

Impact Raymond thus will sit out a second game in a row due to an ankle injury that he sustained Week 12. Meanwhile, the Lions are listing top WR Amon-Ra St. Brown as questionable due to his own ankle issue. If St. Brown ends up inactive as well, Jameson Williams will be the clear top option at the position for Detroit, with Isaac TeSlaa, Tom Kennedy and Dominic Lovett also on hand for targets. Raymond's next chance to play is Sunday, Dec. 14 at the Rams.

Likely to miss Week 14 game Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Raymond (ankle) is unlikely to be available for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Raymond is typically a tertiary target in the Detroit passing attack, but if he hadn't been nursing an ankle injury of his own, he might have been a candidate to see an expanded role Thursday with the status of top wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) uncertain for Week 14. The Lions will list Raymond as a non-participant Tuesday for the second straight practice, and he's expected to be formally ruled out for the Week 14 game following the release of Wednesday's injury report.

Remains out of practice Monday Raymond (ankle) did not practice Monday.

Impact Raymond was injured in the Lions' Week 12 win over the Giants and missed last Thursday's loss to the Packers. If both Raymond and Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) are unable to play Thursday night against Dallas, the Lions would likely roll with a three-wide set of Jameson Williams, Isaac TeSlaa and Tom Kennedy. It's also notable that Sam LaPorta (back) remains on injured reserve.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and Packers DT Devonte Wyatt leave Thanksgiving game with ankle injuries

Detroit wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and Green Bay defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt had ankle injuries in the Packers’ 31-24 win over the Lions on Thursday

NOVEMBER 27, 2025 • Associated Press

Won't play on Thanksgiving Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

Impact Raymond made an early exit from Sunday's win over the Giants, leaving rookie Isaac TeSlaa (wrist) as the No. 3 receiver in an offense that has cut back on use of multi-TE formations due to injuries. TeSlaa is listed as questionable for Thursday, but he's seemingly on track to play, whereas TEs Sam LaPorta (IR - back) and Brock Wright (neck) definitely will be out.

Lions and Packers match up on Thanksgiving with much at stake in NFC North and NFL playoff picture

The Detroit Lions host the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving with a lot at stake in the NFC North and the NFL playoff picture

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • Associated Press

Sits out practice Raymond (ankle) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Impact Raymond was unable to return to this past Sunday's overtime win over the Giants due to the ankle injury, and he's now been estimated as a non-participant on each of Detroit's first two Week 13 practice reports. The Lions aren't expected to hold a traditional practice session Wednesday, but Raymond will likely need to take part in at least some on-field activity to have a shot at playing Thursday against the Packers. Raymond's potential absence for the Thanksgiving Day game could create an opening for rookie Isaac TeSlaa (hand) to see more snaps behind fellow wideouts Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Unable to practice Monday Raymond (ankle) did not practice Monday.

Impact Raymond was forced out of Detroit's overtime win over the Giants in Week 12 late in the third quarter, and he was unable to return to that contest. As a result, veteran wideout's status for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Packers looks genuinely uncertain. If Raymond is unable to suit up on a short week, rookie third-round pick Isaac TeSlaa (hand) could benefit from increased opportunities behind top receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return to Week 12 matchup Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Raymond was hurt on a play during which he made a seven-yard reception late in the third quarter. The veteran wideout was then ruled out early in the fourth. Raymond caught both of his targets for 37 yards prior to his exit. He also returned a punt for 44 yards.

Injures ankle Sunday Raymond suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Raymond remained on the turf for a spell at the end of a late third-quarter play and eventually was deemed questionable to return. He gathered in both of his targets for 37 yards prior to his exit.

Practices in full Wednesday Raymond (cramps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Raymond was forced out in the fourth quarter versus the Eagles in Week 10 due to cramps, and although Detroit only hosted a walkthrough practice Wednesday, the veteran wideout appears to have already returned to full health. Expect Raymond to handle his usual No. 3 receiver role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams Sunday against the Giants.

Battling cramps on SNF Raymond (cramping) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Raymond is dealing with cramps in the fourth quarter. He wasn't targeted prior to the injury on a tough night for Detroit's offense but Raymond contributed two kickoff returns for 36 yards and three punt returns for three yards on special teams.

NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Four catches in win Raymond caught all four of his targets for 49 yards and had a 10-yard rush in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.

Impact Raymond posted season highs in both receptions and receiving yards in Week 10 after he had reeled in just three of four targets for 17 total yards over the team's last four games. The wide receiver remains the team's No. 3 option at his position behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, and considering Sunday represented high-water marks for 31-year-old, his fantasy value remains rather low.

Vikings defense welcomes return to full capacity with Andrew Van Ginkel back on the edge

The Minnesota Vikings revived their defense last week in a critical victory at Detroit

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • Associated Press

No catches vs. Minnesota Raymond failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Raymond's role on Detroit's offense has diminished since the beginning of the season, as he's caught just three of four targets for 17 yards over the team's last four contests. He was relatively ineffective as a kick returner in Week 9 as well, tallying only 15 yards across two returns. Despite this underwhelming stretch, the veteran wideout from Holy Cross is expected to remain the Lions' No. 3 receiver and top kick returner heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Commanders.

Secures three catches in win Raymond caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Monday night's 24-9 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact Raymond was able to secure his first catches since Week 4, playing 42 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 7. The wide receiver still appears to have the edge on rookie Isaac TeSlaa for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart, logging 18 more offensive snaps than TeSlaa in the contest. Raymond has now caught nine of 12 targets for 64 yards over seven games this season.

Limited action in Week 6 Raymond didn't garner a target during Sunday night's 30-17 loss to Kansas City.

Impact Raymond was cleared to play after suffering a neck injury in Week 5, but he only logged two snaps on offense and one snap with the special-teams unit. The wide receiver will look to be more involved Week 7 versus the Buccaneers after having an additional week to return to form following his injury.

Good to go against KC Raymond (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Raymond was limited in the final two practices of the week due to a neck issue, but he has been cleared to play in Sunday night's road tilt. The veteran wideout has six catches (on nine targets) for 47 yards and 125 punt return yards and a touchdown through the first five games of the regular season.

OCTOBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for SNF Raymond (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network reports.

Impact Raymond was limited in practice Thursday and Friday after kicking off Week 6 prep with a DNP. If healthy enough to play Sunday night, Raymond should continue to provide depth at wide receiver while working as Detroit's primary punt returner.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Bumps up to limited Thursday Raymond (neck) was limited in Thursday's practice.

Impact It's an upgrade for Raymond after he logged a DNP on Wednesday following his injury in last Sunday's win over the Bengals. Raymond has been operating as the Lions' third receiver early on this season, securing six of nine targets for 47 yards, but rookie Isaac TeSlaa figures to make a move on the veteran at some point in 2025. In addition to his duties on offense, Raymond has returned two kickoffs for 60 yards and 12 punts for 125 yards and one touchdown.
