Lions' Week 11 Inactive List
The Detroit Lions are seeking to continue their offensive resurgence.
Prior to the bye week, Detroit's offense was struggling with committing critical errors offensively, especially in the red zone.
After emphasizing executing better and limiting mistakes, Detroit was able to score 41 points against the Chargers.
With Donovan Peoples-Jones officially active, the team has another option to keep the chains moving.
Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson expressed to reporters this week the value of having Kalif Raymond and Josh Reynolds as options, especially in critical, late-game situations.
"Yeah, the consistent players that know what to do and you know are going to perform when their number’s called. Kalif’s one of those guys, Josh Reynolds, absolutely. I mean, we saw (tight end) Brock Wright come through with a big play with us on Sunday, as well," Johnson said. "So, those guys are scattered all across our roster here on offense. Shoot, we’ve got some on the practice squad that haven’t had an opportunity yet that I know, just by watching how they practice and what they do, that if they get a chance to play on gameday, they’ll come through, as well."

Both Raymond and Reynolds have been unsung heroes, giving the offense added options when opponents have locked in on Amon-Ra St. Brown or Sam LaPorta.
"A lot of comfort there, and that’s them working their tails off through the week and then it’s our coaches, they are as detailed and thorough in terms of teaching the gameplan as I’ve been around," Johnson said. "And so, the combination of the two allows us to count on them when the time calls for, it’s good.”
