One of the more disappointing developments of the 2022 season for the Lions has been the relative lack of impact from free agent wide receiver DJ Chark. Signed from Jacksonville for a one-year, $10 million contract, Chark has caught just seven of the 18 passes thrown his way in the first three games before missing the last two with an ankle injury.
That ankle will keep Chark out for at least the next month, too. Chark was placed on injured reserve on Saturday, a day before the Lions face the Cowboys in Dallas in Week 7. Being placed on IR means Chark must miss at least the next four Lions games.
