Detroit Lions wide receiver set to make 2024 debut in Week 3 image

The Detroit Lions are once again bringing up help at wide receiver from their practice squad in Week 3, and one of the players who is being elevated will be making his debut with the team.

The Lions announced on Saturday that they are elevating wide receivers Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson. Both players are standard elevations and will revert back to the practice squad following the game.

Patrick made his debut last week, reeling in two catches on four targets for 12 yards. But this will be Robinson's first game in a Lions uniform after not playing in the previous two contests. Instead, the Lions had elevated Tom Kennedy.

Robinson was signed to Detroit's practice squad after getting cut by the New York Giants. The 31-year-old has seen a steep decline in recent years after not tallying more than 410 yards in a single season since 2021.

Detroit still only has four wide receivers on its 53-man roster, and one of them, rookie Isaiah Williams, hasn't played in either of the first two games due to injury and is questionable ahead of Week 3.

The Lions will travel to State Farm Stadium to take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET.
