Yahoo Sports NFL on Dominic Lovett
From the article
he is failing to stand out in any other capacity...Lovett had just two (out of 25 pass attempts) against the Commanders. His snap count plummeted from 39 last week to 14 this week...If Lovett is being phased out of special teams and he is being passed on the wide receiver depth chart, his chances of making the roster are looking slimmer by the day.
STACKED’s take
Lovett's snap count collapse and special teams demotion threaten his roster chances.
Lovett had another stock-down performance, but for different reasons than his first preseason game (when he dropped two passes and muffed a punt). The red flag here was his lack of usage in general. The special teams coordinator said the punt return job was largely down to Greg Dortch and Tom Kennedy, erasing one avenue for Lovett to make the team. He is failing to stand out in any other capacity. A week after leading the team in targets, Lovett had just two targets out of 25 pass attempts against the Commanders. His snap count plummeted from 39 last week to 14 this week, none of which came on special teams—no punt returns, no kick returns, no coverage. Most of his snaps came in the fourth quarter, well after Tay Martin, Cedrick Wilson Jr., Tom Kennedy, and Tarik Black. The source notes that if Lovett is being phased out of special teams and passed on the wide receiver depth chart, his chances of making the roster are looking slimmer by the day.
