Detroit Lions wide receiver and return man Kalif Raymond left the game on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis in Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season.
Raymond was injured on a punt return in the third quarter, getting spun around and falling awkwardly on the hit. A teammate also fell on top of him. He was ruled out with a foot injury by the team.

Raymond limped off and went into the blue medical tent to be evaluated, and wasn't in there long before he hopped on a cart and was taken back to the locker room.
Raymond has stepped up for the Lions this year after they let Josh Reynolds walk in free agency and has been the Lions' No. 3 receiver. Raymond had 16 catches for 204 yards and two touchdowns through the air entering Sunday's game, but is especially a weapon in the return game.

Raymond was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after going crazy against the Tennessee Titans with five punt returns for 190 yards, 17 shy of the NFL record. He also had a 64-yard punt return and had a 44-yard return negated by penalty along with a 90-yard touchdown return.
A few plays after Raymond got injured, left tackle Taylor Decker went down with an injury and was also taken to the medical tent.
Decker was replaced by swing tackle Dan Skipper and the Lions finished the driver with Gibbs' touchdown. Decker returned to the game on the next series.
David Montgomery , a few plays later, also was injured and walked to the locker room without his jersey or shoulder pads.
