Late on Thursday, the Detroit Lions made a roster move that may tip their intentions on who will be playing in the big Sunday night finale against the Minnesota Vikings. The Lions waived wide receiver Tom Kennedy and signed defensive back Morice Norris back to the practice squad.
On the surface, this move looks like a clear indication that Lions receiver and punt returner Kalif Raymond will return to duties this week, and that seems like a very fair conclusion. Kennedy had assumed the kick and punt returner job while Raymond was out, and Raymond has now been practicing for two weeks.
