Lions' Trinity Benson: Avoids serious injury
Head coach Dan Campbell indicated Wednesday that Benson (leg) has avoided a serious injury, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
It was possible to be pessimistic after Benson was carted off the field, but the pass catcher likely only suffered a sprain according to Kyle Meinke of MLive.com. The 26-year-old had his 2022 season cut short due to a knee injury, but came in to camp seemingly fully recovered. He is looking to earn a spot on the team's 53-man-roster, so a return sooner than later would be advantageous.

Lions' Trinity Benson: Carted off field Wednesday
Benson suffered a leg injury in practice Wednesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Benson needed to be carted off the field after suffering the injury. However, after evaluation, head coach Dan Campbell suggested it was just a sprain.

He'll work to get healthy as he tries to earn a spot on the team's 53-man roster.

Lions' Trinity Benson: Placed on IR
Benson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Benson suffered a knee injury in Week 10 versus the Bears and was forced out of the contest early, and he will now be forced to miss at least four weeks while on IR. The wide receiver made his team debut in Week 10, and his absence will have little to no impact on the Lions' offensive game plan moving forward.

Lions' Trinity Benson: Remains out Thursday
Benson (knee) was listed as a non-participant on the Lions' injury report Thursday.
Benson was signed off the Broncos' practice squad Nov. 9 and was forced out with a knee injury during his Lions debut against the Bears on Sunday. The 25-year-old wideout has been sidelined for each of the first two practices to open Week 11, so it appears he's in line to remain out against the Giants this Sunday. Benson will have one more practice to improve his status before Friday's final injury report, or else Detroit's active roster could be limited to just four healthy wide receivers versus New York.

Lions' Trinity Benson: Forced out Sunday
Benson (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bears.
Benson was making his season debut Sunday after being signed off the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday. However, the 25-year-old did not record a catch before injuring his knee in the second half, which forced him to head directly to Detroit's locker room, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. While the nature and severity of this issue are still unclear, Benson's next opportunity to play will come against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 20.

Trinity Benson: Gets practice squad deal
Benson signed to the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday.
Benson was signed by the Broncos as an undrafted free agent back in 2019, then spent two years off and on the team's practice squad. He ultimately ended up with the Lions via a trade in August of 2021, but he failed to make the team out of training camp this season when he was placed on IR with an undisclosed injury. However, Benson is now healthy and will look to contribute for Denver and work his way to the active roster.

Trinity Benson: Let go with injury designation
The Lions waived Benson (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
The extent of the injury remains unclear, but he presumably picked it up during Sunday's preseason finale, which he finished with one catch for eight yards on six targets across 26 offensive snaps. If he clears waivers, the 25-year-old wideout will revert to the Lions' injured reserve list, which -- barring an injury settlement -- would end his 2022 campaign.

Lions' Trinity Benson: Solid minicamp performance
Benson performed well during minicamp and appears to be a realistic candidate for a roster spot, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
After Detroit invested big in DJ Chark and Jameson Williams (knee) while agreeing to extensions with Kalif Raymond and Josh Reynolds this offseason, there's not much space left in a wide receiver room headed by Amon-Ra St. Brown. Quintez Cephus seems like the clear favorite for a sixth roster spot at the position, but Benson could make a case for a seventh if he can establish himself as a return man during training camp.

Lions' Trinity Benson: Puts up 31 receiving yards
Benson caught two of four targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 51-29 loss to the Seahawks.
Benson was one of three Lions receivers to set career highs in the receiving yardage department, but most of it was meaningless because Detroit was getting blown out before the first half ended. The East Central University product likely will move back down the depth chart if either of Josh Reynolds or Kalif Raymond is able to clear COVID-19 protocols in time for the Lions' Week 18 matchup with the Packers.
