The Detroit Lions have announced their injury designations ahead of their Divisional round matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2023-24 NFL playoffs. Despite being a relatively healthy team late in the season, the Lions have a few injuries that may require adjustments as they prepare for a crucial game.

One player who will be unavailable for the second consecutive playoff game is wide receiver Raymond. Sidelined since Week 18 due to an injury, Raymond has been making progress but will not be able to take the field on Sunday. The Lions plan to divide his offensive snaps among their top three receivers and Donovan People-Jones, who will also assume punt returner duties in Raymond's absence.

On a positive note, EDGE James Houston has been activated from the injured reserve. Although he returned to the active roster on Thursday, his availability for Sunday's game is not guaranteed. Coach Dan Campbell emphasized the need to evaluate Houston's readiness, taking into consideration his progress and potential production compared to the players who may sit out.

Last week, the Lions kept only four out of their six edge rushers active on game day. Therefore, the decision regarding Houston's participation is likely to be made closer to game time on Sunday.

Meanwhile, no other Lions players were listed with injury designations, indicating that the majority of the team is in good health as they prepare for this crucial playoff matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

As the Lions continue their preparations, taking into account the injuries and potential roster adjustments, the team remains focused on putting their best foot forward in Sunday's game. The Lions are determined to make a deep playoff run, and their overall health will play a significant role in their pursuit of a victory.
