Winning consistently in the NFL requires more than just a scheme or a nucleus of talent, and Detroit has become a master at figuring that out.

Detroit Lions punt returner Kalif Raymond wants to stay aggressive on special teams, which means avoiding fair catches even when there's little room to run.

The Lions held a walkthrough on Monday, providing their first round of injury updates with an estimated practice report before the quick turnaround.

The Week 12 matchup for Kalif Raymond and the Detroit Lions has them going head to head against the New York Giants at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Raymond was hurt on a play during which he made a seven-yard reception late in the third quarter. The veteran wideout was then ruled out early in the fourth. Raymond caught both of his targets for 37 yards prior to his exit. He also returned a punt for 44 yards.

Multiple Minnesota Vikings players called out Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond for a "cheap shot" block in Week 9.
