News

  • Placed on IR

    Benson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

    Analysis: Benson suffered a knee injury in Week 10 versus the Bears and was forced out of the contest early, and he will now be forced to miss at least four weeks while on IR. The wide receiver made his team debut in Week 10, and his absence will have little to no impact on the Lions' offensive game plan moving forward.

  • Remains out Thursday

    Benson (knee) was listed as a non-participant on the Lions' injury report Thursday.

    Analysis: Benson was signed off the Broncos' practice squad Nov. 9 and was forced out with a knee injury during his Lions debut against the Bears on Sunday. The 25-year-old wideout has been sidelined for each of the first two practices to open Week 11, so it appears he's in line to remain out against the Giants this Sunday. Benson will have one more practice to improve his status before Friday's final injury report, or else Detroit's active roster could be limited to just four healthy wide receivers…read more

  • Forced out Sunday

    Benson (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Benson was making his season debut Sunday after being signed off the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday. However, the 25-year-old did not record a catch before injuring his knee in the second half, which forced him to head directly to Detroit's locker room, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. While the nature and severity of this issue are still unclear, Benson's next opportunity to play will come against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 20.

  • Signed by Lions

    Benson was signed by the Lions off of the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Benson was added by the Lions on Wednesday and will be a part of their active roster Sunday versus the Bears. The wide receiver appeared in eight games with Detroit in 2021, reeling in 10 catches for 103 yards on 22 targets. Benson has yet to play in a game this season and will have little to no impact offensively in Week 10.

  • Gets practice squad deal

    Benson signed to the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: Benson was signed by the Broncos as an undrafted free agent back in 2019, then spent two years off and on the team's practice squad. He ultimately ended up with the Lions via a trade in August of 2021, but he failed to make the team out of training camp this season when he was placed on IR with an undisclosed injury. However, Benson is now healthy and will look to contribute for Denver and work his way to the active roster.

  • Earns workout

    Benson (undisclosed) had a workout with the Raiders on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Benson spent training camp with the Lions, but he was waived from the team with an injury settlement after being placed on IR on Aug. 31. Now healthy, Benson will continue working to earn a chance with another NFL team, unless he gets a deal with the Raiders.

  • Waived from IR

    The Lions waived Benson (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Benson will now be free to sign with a new team during the 2022 campaign. The 25-year-old wideout caught six of 14 targets for 76 yards across three preseason contests.

  • Reverts to injured reserve

    The Lions placed Benson (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday, Jeff Risdon of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Barring an injury settlement, Benson will be sidelined for the entire 2022 campaign. The 6-foot wideout caught six of 14 targets for 76 yards across three preseason contests.

  • Let go with injury designation

    The Lions waived Benson (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: The extent of the injury remains unclear, but he presumably picked it up during Sunday's preseason finale, which he finished with one catch for eight yards on six targets across 26 offensive snaps. If he clears waivers, the 25-year-old wideout will revert to the Lions' injured reserve list, which -- barring an injury settlement -- would end his 2022 campaign.

  • Solid minicamp performance

    Benson performed well during minicamp and appears to be a realistic candidate for a roster spot, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: After Detroit invested big in DJ Chark and Jameson Williams (knee) while agreeing to extensions with Kalif Raymond and Josh Reynolds this offseason, there's not much space left in a wide receiver room headed by Amon-Ra St. Brown. Quintez Cephus seems like the clear favorite for a sixth roster spot at the position, but Benson could make a case for a seventh if he can establish himself as a return man during training camp.

  • Shaky 2021 campaign

    Benson caught 10 of 22 targets for 103 receiving yards over eight games in 2021.

    Analysis: The Lions acquired Benson from the Broncos in the preseason, but the 24-year-old missed nine of the final 12 games due to coach's decisions and COVID protocols. His future with Detroit seems uncertain despite Benson technically having one year left on his contract.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Benson (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Packers.

    Analysis: Benson played in Week 17 against the Seahawks, which was his first action since Week 10. With the Lions' receiver unit fully healthy, Benson will head back to the sidelines Sunday against the Packers.

    Published: Sun, Jan 9 at 8:49am by Rotowire.com

  • Puts up 31 receiving yards

    Benson caught two of four targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 51-29 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Benson was one of three Lions receivers to set career highs in the receiving yardage department, but most of it was meaningless because Detroit was getting blown out before the first half ended. The East Central University product likely will move back down the depth chart if either of Josh Reynolds or Kalif Raymond is able to clear COVID-19 protocols in time for the Lions' Week 18 matchup with the Packers.

  • Could have larger role Sunday

    Benson is expected to see an increased role within Detroit's receiving corps Sunday against the Seahawks with both Josh Reynolds (illness) and Kalif Raymond (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: No. 1 wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown and running backs D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams are probably the safest bets to earn targets from quarterback Tim Boyle, but the likes of Benson, KhaDarel Hodge, Tom Kennedy and Javon McKinley could all see increased snaps with two starting receivers out of the lineup. Benson has played more than 29 percent of the Lions' offensive snaps in all seven of his appearances on the season, but he was a healthy inactive for three straight games before sitting out the…read more

  • Reinstated from COVID list

    Benson was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: With Josh Reynolds (illness) still in COVID protocols, Benson could find himself active in Week 17 against the Seahawks as a depth piece at wide receiver. Benson has frequently been a healthy scratch of late, last seeing the field in Week 10.

  • Not eligible to play Week 16

    The Lions didn't reinstate Benson from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, making him ineligible to play Sunday against the Falcons.

    Analysis: After being deactivated Thursday, Benson is one of four members of the Lions' roster who will remain on the list ahead of the team's Week 16 game. The wideout hasn't suited up for a game since Week 10, as he's either been out with a knee injury or a healthy inactive.

  • Placed on COVID list

    Benson (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Healthy scratch Sunday

    Benson (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Upgrades to full participation

    Benson (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Published: Wed, Dec 1 at 1:22pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Ruled out for Thursday

    Benson (knee) will not play Thursday against the Bears.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Doesn't practice Tuesday

    Benson (knee) was a non-participant at practice Tuesday.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Listed as limited participant

    Benson (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Benson (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Browns.

    Analysis: 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.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • First catches since Week 4

    Benson caught two of three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 16-16 tie with Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Healthy inactive

    Benson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Won't face Bengals

    Benson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Held without catch

    Benson was targeted twice but did not record a catch during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Back in box score

    Benson caught two of three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Playing time decreases

    Benson caught one of three targets for 24 yards during Monday's 35-17 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Despite the fact Tyrell Williams (concussion) was watching from the sidelines, Benson logged fewer snaps than he did in Week 1 as Quintez Cephus stole the show among 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.

  • Six targets in Lions debut

    Benson caught three of six targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 41-33 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Dealt to Detroit

    The Lions acquired Benson via a trade with the Broncos on Tuesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Benson put together a solid preseason in Denver, including a 4/36/2 performance versus the Vikings. However, the Broncos already boast one of the deepest wide receiver rooms in the league, so a trade to Detroit's relatively thin positional group makes sense. In addition to acting as a depth receiver, Benson could contribute in the kick return game.

  • Scores twice in preseason opener

    Benson caught all four of his targets for 36 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 33-6 win over Minnesota.

    Analysis: Benson's visits to the end zone in Denver's first preseason game came from both Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater, as the two quarterbacks continue to compete for the starting job. The 24-year-old is having himself a solid training camp, and his improved route running may be paying off. Entering Saturday's contest, Benson was competing for a spot on the Broncos' 53-man roster in an already crowded receiver room headlined by the likes of Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler, and Tim Patrick.…read more

  • Agrees to future contract

    The Broncos signed Benson to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Benson has yet to play an NFL game since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2019. The 23-year-old wideout likely will need to prove his worth on special teams to secure a roster spot in 2021.

  • Cut loose by Denver

    The Broncos waived Benson on Saturday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Benson initially inked with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent back in 2019, but the team's crowded wideout room now leaves him without a spot. He could be a candidate to once again latch on to Denver's practice squad.
