Raymond suffered a foot injury during the team’s match 24-6 win against the Indianapolis Colts end of November. The receiver and punt returner have two touchdowns on the season with 204 receiving yards.
Both Anzalone and Raymond practiced with the team this week but were listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report.
Running back Craig Reynolds, who has taken a few more reps in David Montgomery’s absence, was also listed as questionable on Friday due to a back injury.
Kickoff for Sunday’s game between the Vikings and Lions is at 8:20 PM. CBS News Detroit will have live updates throughout the game.
