Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions are gearing up for their Monday, December 30th game against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium, but the visitors will have to take the field without one of their standout receivers this season.
According to the latest injury report, wide receiver Kalif Raymond will be unavailable for the Lions vs 49ers matchup due to a foot injury, sidelining him for at least a week. Raymond, listed behind Tim Patrick on the depth chart, has been a key contributor for the team.
Notably, Raymond delivered a spectacular 90-yard punt return touchdown earlier this NFL season. To date, he has recorded 27 punt returns and contributed 204 yards, 16 receptions, and two touchdowns as a receiver—the most recent coming in Week 8 against the Titans.
Kalif Raymond has been playing with the Detroit Lions since 2021, a season that stands out as one of his best with the team. He played in 16 games, starting 14, and set a career-high for single-season touchdowns with four. In 2022, he achieved another milestone with a personal best of 616 receiving yards.
David Montgomery Out
Another weapon Jared Goff will be without for the remainder of the regular season is David Montgomery. The running back suffered a significant knee injury that will sideline him for several months. The Lions will rely on Jahmyr Gibbs, Craig Reynolds, and Sione Vaki to carry the load in the backfield.
