In Week 1, the Detroit Lions No. 1 wide receiver Tyrell Williams suffered a concussion that would eventually land him on injured reserve. In Week 2, second-year WR Quintez Cephus stepped into his starting role and was one of the Lions' most consistent receiving options on the roster over the last four weeks.
In Week 5, Cephus was making an impact early, securing three receptions for 38 yards, but on a routine play near the end of the half, he was tackled by two Minnesota Vikings and fell awkwardly out of bounds.
