First it was the defensive back room. Now, COVID-19 is taking aim at the Detroit Lions passing game. The Lions placed wide receiver Kalif Raymond on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, the third receiver they’ve lost to the virus this week.

The Detroit Lions will play a regular season game in Seattle this Sunday for the first time since officials missed a batted ball penalty in a 2015 loss to the Seahawks — and with the same referee officiating the game. Tony Corrente has been assigned to Sunday’s Lions-Seahawks game. Corrente refereed the Lions’ 13-10 loss to

The Detroit Lions shuffled tight ends as part of a slew of roster moves Tuesday, signing Jared Pinkney off the Los Angeles Rams practice squad and placing Brock Wright on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Wright had been the Lions’ only healthy tight end after T.J. Hockenson opted to undergo season-ending thumb surgery Dec. 16 and Shane
