DETROIT (AP) The are holding out hope Pro Bowl tight end and standout return specialist Kalif Raymond will be healthy enough to face the Matthew Stafford-led Los Angeles Rams in the playoffs on Sunday night.LaPorta and Raymond both left the win over Minnesota with knee injuries.LaPortas got an outside shot now, so well see, coach Dan Campbell said Monday. Well know a lot in 48 hours.Campbell said Raymond's status is similar, adding tight end Brock Wright and receiver Jameson Williams are recovering well from injuries that kept them out against the Vikings.ADVERTISEMENT The Lions played their starters in the regular-season finale, aiming to win and hoping to improve from the No. 3 to No. 2 seed in their first postseason appearance since 2016.It didn't work out because of LaPorta and Raymond's injuries along with Dallas' win, which secured the No. 2 seed for the Cowboys.If LaPorta can't play against Ryan Mallett Jersey the Rams, Detroit will lean on tight ends James Mitchell, Wright if he's healthy and perhaps Anthony Firkser. Even though LaPorta set a rookie record by a tight end with 86 catches, the Lions have overcome injuries all season at various positions and are confident they can do it again if nece sary.Well work it out, quarterback Jared Goff said. "If its James, if it's somebody else, if its Brocks back, if Firksers playing, I have no idea."Well be fine.Likewise, Campbell is confident his players will find a way to thrive as they have for much of the season in the face of adversity.We bounce back, Campbell said. I feel like thats one of our qualities, thats one of the things about us that I think makes this group special. It is a resilient group. Theyre able to overcome adversity, snap back, and theyve done that again.WHATS WORKINGThe Lions strike a balance on offense, setting an NFL single-season record with pa sing and rushing touchdowns in 15 games.
