Allison reverted to Detroit's practice squad on Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Allison made it onto the field for 13 snaps on offense but wasn't targeted in the contest. He also logged 15 snaps on special teams. Allison's appearance in Week 6 marked his first game action of the 2021 season.

Allison was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday's designation marks Allison's second stint with the Lions, though he technically never played a game with them after opting out of the 2020 season. With the Lions decimated at wide receiver with both Tyrell Williams (concussion) and Quintez Cephus (collarbone) on injured reserve, Allison already represents the most veteran pass catcher among a depth chart that includes likely starters Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond. It's possible the longtime Packers wide receiver could push KhaDarel Hodge for work as the No. 3 wideout this week against the Bengals.

The Lions signed Allison to their practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Lions top wideout Tyrell Williams was placed in concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Detroit has a group of unproven pass catchers behind Williams, so Allison will offer some insurance if Williams is unable to suit up in Week 2.

The Lions released Allison on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

After opting out of the 2020 campaign due to COVID-19 concerns, Allison wasn't guaranteed a spot on the initial 53-man roster this season. It was reported early in training camp that his chances of making the roster relied heavily on his ability to contribute on special teams. Despite his struggles on special teams, Allison could garner interest from teams looking for help at wideout. Before joining Detroit, he racked up 1,045 yards and six touchdowns over four years with Green Bay.

Allison's chances of making the roster likely will depend on his ability to contribute on special teams, Nick Baumgardner and Chris Burke of the Athletic report.

EDGE Analysis

After opting out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns, Allison is competing with a totally different group of receivers in Detroit compared to the one that was headlined by Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones last year. However, nothing has changed in the sense that Allison is a long shot to reemerge as a significant fantasy contributor. In fact, with Baumgardner and Burke noting that Victor Bolden and Kalif Raymond could be competing for the Lions' last roster spot at wide receiver, Allison is not guaranteed to even log offensive snaps for Detroit in 2020. However, Allison's saving grace could be on kickoff and punt coverage, which is how Allison fit in on special teams during spring practices.

Allison opted out of the 2020 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allison flashed occasionally in four seasons in Green Bay, but he only surpassed 300 yards in one of them, combined for six touchdowns and had 89 catches in 46 games. He was set to vie with Marvin Hall and rookie Quintez Cephus for slotting near the bottom of the regular-season roster, so Allison's decision likely makes the Lions' own roster decisions easier for the upcoming campaign.

Allison agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Lions on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Allison arrives from Green Bay, where he was used primarily in two- and three-wide sets, sporting a receiving line of 34-287-2 for the 2019 season. The Lions already have proven options such as Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones (ankle) and Danny Amendola on the roster, so it appears that Allison will be battling Marvin Hall (foot) for the No. 4 receiver spot in Detroit heading into the 2020 season.

Allison recorded 34 receptions for 287 yards and two touchdowns over 16 regular-season games in 2019.

EDGE Analysis

Allison lined up as the No. 3 wide receiver in the NFC Championship Game and for most of the season, but he and Marquez Valdes-Scantling were passed up for the No. 2 role by undrafted free agent Allen Lazard. It was another unproductive season for Allison, who will be an unrestricted free agent in March, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Packers can bring him back cheap again. With a loaded wide receiver draft in 2020, though, the Packers could let him walk in free agency.

Allison (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game in San Francisco, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

As was the case with his teammates, Allison seems to have got over his bout with the flu in 48 hours, going from a DNP on Wednesday to full participant to close out the week. He hasn't surpassed 30 yards receiving since Week 7 but nonetheless has been targeted 3.3 times per game (including playoffs) this season.

Allison (illness) was limited at Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Allison is the most recent Packer to come down with an illness, sitting out Wednesday before getting in some work one day later. He'll look to ditch the designation entirely by week's end.
