NFL News and Rumors Mailbag: Is Jerry Jones playing a dangerous game with Cowboys’ Mike McCarthy? (How will the Detroit Lions’ WR depth chart shake out?
The Lions are low-key interesting at wideout. The team predictably put first-round pick Jameson Williams on the non-football injury list this week due to his college ACL tear. If Williams stays on the list entering Week 1, he will miss roughly a month of the season, at minimum.  So, for this exercise, let’s eliminate Williams from the conversation. With Williams no longer a factor in the Week 1 depth chart, DJ Chark, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Josh Reynolds are the top three wideouts. Chark and Reynolds would probably handle the outside duties, while St. Brown owns the slot. From there, the Lions are likely to keep two or three more receivers.  Trinity Benson, Quintez Cephus, Kalil Pimpleton, Tom Kennedy, Josh Johnson, Corey Sutton, and Kalif Raymond will battle for the deep-depth jobs.  Raymond feels like the safest bet to stick after he started 14 games for the team last year. Sure, the Lions are better at the position, but Raymond has the experience, knows the offense, and made the occasional play last year.  Cephus is the other name to watch. He’s had a relatively solid two years with the Lions as a 2020 fifth-round pick. While the current regime inherited him, they utilized him well as a depth option last season. If the Lions go with five wide receivers, Chark, St. Brown, Reynolds, Raymond, and Cephus would be the best collection on paper.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-news-and-rumors-mailbag-jerry-jones-playing-dangerous-game-with-cowboys-mike-mccarthy/
