Josh Reynolds, who previously played for the Lions, is viewed as a pivotal missing piece in their passing game this season. T.J. Lang highlighted Reynolds' crucial role in the offense, especially during clutch situations, emphasizing the strong chemistry he developed with Jared Goff over several years with the Rams. Despite not being a star player, Reynolds served as a reliable security blanket for Goff, aiding in third-down conversions and red-zone opportunities. His absence has left a gap that newer receivers have yet to fill, making it harder for Goff to trust his current options in high-pressure moments.
