Raymond has been a full participant at both practices this week.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/advancelocal\/R37DAFNK45BIJFACA5MGD3NZ5I.jpg\" alt=\"Veteran cornerback, rookie offensive lineman missing from Lions practice -  mlive.com\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"ES23AYDDSBHXZJK6R5UZSH4GMI\">Kennedy has helped fill the void at returner in Raymond\u2019s absence. And he\u2019s used to the routine of bouncing between the roster and the practice squad. Kennedy has appeared in four games this season, handling one punt return and six kickoff returns along the way.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ZI2TESNEONA5DP5YJ5HTBRTX6A\">The Lions also brought back defensive back Morice Norris to their practice squad. Norris was signed to the 53-man roster last week and ended up playing 20 snaps on special teams.<\/p>\n<p id=\"PYSTW3NITFEAZJQEH4CU5R77YI\">Norris has spent most of the year on Detroit\u2019s practice squad. He played his college ball at Orange Coast and then Fresno State before landing with the Lions after the draft as an undrafted rookie free agent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raymond has been back at practice for a couple of weeks, and is nearing his return.
