DENVER — Free Press sports writer Dave Birkett breaks down the Detroit Lions' 38-10 loss to the Denver Broncos, and looks at players who helped and hurt their stock Sunday at Empower Field:
Stock up
RB Craig Reynolds: Reynolds had a strong preseason but languished on the practice squad the first 13 weeks of the season. Pressed into action with D’Andre Swift nursing a shoulder injury and Jamaal Williams (COVID) and Jermar Jefferson (flu) sick, Reynolds ran for 83 yards on 11 carries. The young running back had an impressive 35-yard run to spark the Lions early, and did enough to think he’ll be on the 53-man roster soon.
