Dominic Lovett: Everything you need to know

Lovett went without a target while playing two of the Lions' 62 snaps on offense in Thursday's 44-30 win over the Cowboys. The rookie wideout has been active for all but one of Detroit's 13 games this season, but he's been used almost exclusively on special teams. He's played 14 offensive snaps in total and has yet to draw a target.

Lovett logged all 11 of his snaps on special teams Monday in the Lions' 24-9 win over the Buccaneers. A rookie seventh-round wideout of Georgia, Lovett has suited up for each of the Lions' first seven games but has played just seven total snaps on offense. Unless Detroit's depth at receiver takes a hit, Lovett should continue to see the overwhelming majority of his playing time on special teams, where he has a role on the Lions' coverage units.

Lovett (abdomen) caught two passes (on three targets) for 14 yards during the Lions' 24-17 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday. Lovett had been sidelined due to an abdominal injury, but he was cleared to play Saturday after going through pregame warmups without a setback. He didn't make much of an impact on offense but he recovered a fumble on a muffed punt, which led to a 33-yard field goal by Jake Bates eight plays later. Lovett has a path to make the Lions' 53-man roster as a contributor on special teams. The rookie seventh rounder's final chance to audition for a roster spot will be in Detroit's preseason finale against Houston on Saturday, Aug. 23.
