INJURIES

Placed on COVID list Benson (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Benson has frequently been a healthy scratch of late, but he may not be available whatsoever come Sunday against the Falcons unless the 24-year-old wide receiver is able to promptly test out of COVID-19 protocols. He has just eight catches for 72 yards this season and is still searching for his first NFL touchdown.

Inactive again Benson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Impact Benson has slipped down the Lions' depth chart in recent weeks, particularly due to the emergence of Josh Reynolds. He has not been active since Week 10 but will be a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game.
DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Healthy scratch Sunday Benson (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Impact Benson has been managing a knee issue in recent weeks, but the injury doesn't seem to be keeping him off the field Sunday, as he practiced fully Thursday and Friday, and didn't take an injury designation into the weekend. Instead, Benson appears to have simply fallen down the depth chart at receiver, with the Lions' recent addition of Josh Reynolds effectively costing him a regular role on offense. Benson played 69 percent of the Lions' offense snaps in his most recent outing Week 10 in Pittsburgh, but he's now inactive for the third week in a row after the knee injury was attributed to his prior two absences.

Upgrades to full participation Benson (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Benson was limited Wednesday, but his full participation Thursday puts him on track to suit up Sunday against the Vikings. The rookie wide receiver has eight catches and is still searching for his first touchdown.

Logs limited practice Benson (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Benson hasn't played since the Lions tied the Steelers in Week 10. He was unable to practice last week, so this is a step in the right direction for the wideout. Benson will keep working toward suiting up Sunday against the Vikings.
DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Thursday Benson (knee) will not play Thursday against the Bears.
Impact Benson was unable to practice Tuesday or Wednesday, setting the stage for his unavailability Thursday. The 24-year-old saw a significant snap increase in each of the Lions' last two games but with little results. That increased workload and opportunity will now likely be given to Josh Reynolds and KhaDarel Hodge.
NOVEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Doesn't practice Tuesday Benson (knee) was a non-participant at practice Tuesday.
Impact Benson was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice, so this is a step backward for the wideout. With a short week, Benson's status is very much up in the air for Thursday.
NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as limited participant Benson (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Impact Benson was held out of Sunday's game against the Browns after he was a late addition to the injury report. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return to the field Thursday against the Bears.
NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Sunday Benson (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Browns.
Impact Benson was a late addition to the injury report after being limited in practice on Friday. Despite playing at least 69 percent of wide receiver snaps the last two weeks, Benson had only managed two receptions on three targets for 17 yards. This could create extra opportunity for newly acquired wideout Josh Reynolds.
NOVEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy for Week 11 Benson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns due to a knee injury, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Benson was a late addition to the Lions' Week 11 injury report, as the knee issue rendered him a limited participant in Friday's session. After the 24-year-old was a healthy inactive Weeks 6 and 7, he's re-entered Detroit's wideout rotation in both of the past two games, handling 72 and 69 percent snap shares between those contests but drawing just three targets. Even if he's able to move past the knee injury in advance of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Benson can't be relied upon to handle meaningful volume in the Detroit passing attack.
NOVEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
First catches since Week 4 Benson caught two of three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 16-16 tie with Pittsburgh.
Impact Benson remained in the rotation, though he clearly ran as a secondary option behind top receivers Kalif Raymond and Amon-Ra St. Brown. However, with Josh Reynolds likely to get a chance to produce after being claimed off waivers this past week, Benson could conceivably return to being a healthy scratch as soon as Week 11 against Cleveland.
NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Healthy inactive Benson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Impact Benson has been a healthy inactive for each of the team's last two games. Geronimo Allison has taken over as the team's fifth receiver, leaving Benson without a consistent role.
OCTOBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Won't face Bengals Benson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.
Impact Benson has served as a depth receiver in every game for the Lions to this point in the campaign, racking up a total of six receptions for 55 yards. However, Geronimo Allison was elevated from the practice squad prior to the team's Week 6 matchup, which will force Benson to the inactive list.
OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Held without catch Benson was targeted twice but did not record a catch during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Averaging over three targets per game entering the week, Benson wasn't able to get anything going despite seeing extra run in the absence of Quintez Cephus (shoulder). Should Tyrell Williams (concussion) remain sidelined in Week 6 against the Bengals, Benson could continue to see an uptick in playing time.

Broncos hoping to play Teddy Bridgewater at Pittsburgh

Teddy Bridgewater took most of the first-team reps at practice Friday and is trending toward starting when the Denver Broncos play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday
OCTOBER 8, 2021 • Associated Press
Back in box score Benson caught two of three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to Chicago.
Impact Benson was clearly the No. 4 option at wide receiver and nothing more than the sixth option in the passing game overall. He remains far off the fantasy radar despite the absence of Tyrell Williams (concussion).

Blanked by Ravens Benson was targeted once but did not catch a pass during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Ravens.
Impact After seeing nine targets over the first two weeks of the season, Benson was hardly a factor despite the continued absence of Tyrell Williams (concussion). The same was true for Amon-Ra St. Brown as Quintez Cephus and Kalif Raymond easily paced the position group in playing time. With Williams possibly back in the mix as soon as Week 6, Benson will have a couple of more games before things may get even harder to earn snaps.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Playing time decreases Benson caught one of three targets for 24 yards during Monday's 35-17 loss to Detroit.
Impact Despite Tyrell Williams (concussion) watching from the sidelines, Benson logged less snaps than he did in Week 1 as Quintez Cephus stole the show amongst Lions wide receivers. However, Benson had a chance to salvage his day with a touchdown on the last drive only for a Packers cornerback to get his hands on the ball at the last second. If Williams remains sidelined in Week 3, Benson could get another realistic chance to produce in a home matchup against Baltimore.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Six targets in Lions debut Benson caught three of six targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 41-33 loss to San Francisco.
Impact Despite having been with Detroit for less than two weeks, Benson finished third in offensive snaps amongst Lions receivers thanks to Tyrell Williams (undisclosed) leaving the game in the third quarter. If Williams is forced to miss time, Benson again could handle a large number of snaps Week 2 against Green Bay.
