Detroit Lions ready to binge on 'Netflix' again; Jermar Jefferson to see increased role

The Detroit Lions are hoping "Netflix" airs a re-run this Sunday.

With D'Andre Swift expected to miss his third straight game with a shoulder injury and Jamaal Williams still on the reserve/COVID-19 list, practice squad running back Craig Reynolds appears to be in line for another lead role in the Lions backfield.

Reynolds, nicknamed "Netflix" after Lions running backs coach Duce Staley joked that's what he was home watching while waiting for an opportunity when the Lions signed him as a street free agent this summer, is coming off a career-best 83-yard rushing day on 11 carries in a loss to the Denver Broncos.
