Benson (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Benson was making his season debut Sunday after being signed off the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday. However, the 25-year-old did not record a catch before injuring his knee in the second half, which forced him to head directly to Detroit's locker room, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. While the nature and severity of this issue are still unclear, Benson's next opportunity to play will come against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 20.

Benson was signed by the Lions off of the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Benson was added by the Lions on Wednesday and will be a part of their active roster Sunday versus the Bears. The wide receiver appeared in eight games with Detroit in 2021, reeling in 10 catches for 103 yards on 22 targets. Benson has yet to play in a game this season and will have little to no impact offensively in Week 10.

Benson signed to the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Benson was signed by the Broncos as an undrafted free agent back in 2019, then spent two years off and on the team's practice squad. He ultimately ended up with the Lions via a trade in August of 2021, but he failed to make the team out of training camp this season when he was placed on IR with an undisclosed injury. However, Benson is now healthy and will look to contribute for Denver and work his way to the active roster.

Benson (undisclosed) had a workout with the Raiders on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Benson spent training camp with the Lions, but he was waived from the team with an injury settlement after being placed on IR on Aug. 31. Now healthy, Benson will continue working to earn a chance with another NFL team, unless he gets a deal with the Raiders.

The Lions placed Benson (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday, Jeff Risdon of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barring an injury settlement, Benson will be sidelined for the entire 2022 campaign. The 6-foot wideout caught six of 14 targets for 76 yards across three preseason contests.

The Lions waived Benson (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The extent of the injury remains unclear, but he presumably picked it up during Sunday's preseason finale, which he finished with one catch for eight yards on six targets across 26 offensive snaps. If he clears waivers, the 25-year-old wideout will revert to the Lions' injured reserve list, which -- barring an injury settlement -- would end his 2022 campaign.

Benson performed well during minicamp and appears to be a realistic candidate for a roster spot, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After Detroit invested big in DJ Chark and Jameson Williams (knee) while agreeing to extensions with Kalif Raymond and Josh Reynolds this offseason, there's not much space left in a wide receiver room headed by Amon-Ra St. Brown. Quintez Cephus seems like the clear favorite for a sixth roster spot at the position, but Benson could make a case for a seventh if he can establish himself as a return man during training camp.

Benson caught 10 of 22 targets for 103 receiving yards over eight games in 2021.

EDGE Analysis

The Lions acquired Benson from the Broncos in the preseason, but the 24-year-old missed nine of the final 12 games due to coach's decisions and COVID protocols. His future with Detroit seems uncertain despite Benson technically having one year left on his contract.

Benson (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Benson played in Week 17 against the Seahawks, which was his first action since Week 10. With the Lions' receiver unit fully healthy, Benson will head back to the sidelines Sunday against the Packers.
