The Titans will have to find someone else to fill that role for at least one game after Kalif Raymond was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list Saturday. That means Raymond will not be available for Sunday’s contest against the Detroit Lions and possibly longer.
Wide receiver Cody Hollister also was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list and punter Trevor Daniel was removed. Hollister and Daniel are both practice squad players.
Raymond has been Tennessee’s punt returner and a rotational wide receiver through this season’s first 13 games. He is tied for second in the NFL with 23 returns and has opted for just 10 fair catches.
