Wide receiver Kalif Raymond is a name Tennessee Titans fans have been keeping an eye on since before the 2019 NFL season officially kicked off.
And his role is only going to get larger on Sunday.
Raymond will be active on returns on punts and kicks, and will also see some added time at receiver.
This isn’t necessarily anything new, considering that Raymond has been the team’s main returner lately, but more will be added to his workload.

Raymond is looking forward to getting to do a little extra for the team.
“It’s just another opportunity to go out there and show what I can do,” Raymond said in a report by the team’s Jim Wyatt. “And I just have to be prepared for anything they ask me to do, whether it’s punt return, kick return, receiver, gunner, anything.”
With wide receiver Adam Humphries and cornerback Adoree Jackson out for this week’s game against the Oakland Raiders, safety Amani Hooker will be an option for the Titans on punts, while running back Dion Lewis could also be used on kickoffs.
The Titans and Raiders are set to kick off at 3:25 p.m. CT on Sunday in Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
