With Week 14 of the NFL season kicking off with a high-stakes showdown between the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys, all eyes are on star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and his injury status.
St. Brown was officially listed as questionable on Wednesday’s injury report after suffering an ankle injury during Detroit’s Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers. The Lions have not ruled him out, but his availability will come down to how he responds in practice sessions leading up to kickoff. Detroit has relied heavily on his production this season, and his presence would be crucial in a matchup that carries major playoff implications.
Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens made headlines by securing a long-term deal with one of their most important offensive players. Tight end Mark Andrews signed a three-year extension worth $39.3 million, keeping the franchise’s all-time leading receiver in Baltimore through the foreseeable future. The Ravens face the Pittsburgh Steelers in a key AFC North battle this Sunday.
In Tampa Bay, wide receiver Mike Evans returned to practice for the first time since breaking his clavicle in October. According to reports, Evans is healing faster than expected, and the Buccaneers have opened his 21-day practice window.
The Cleveland Browns have also designated quarterback Deshaun Watson to return to practice, starting his own 21-day evaluation window as he continues recovering from injury.
But it wasn’t good news everywhere: the Kansas City Chiefs announced that rookie left tackle Josh Simmons has been placed on injured reserve following wrist surgery, another blow to an already shifting offensive line.
For now, Lions fans will continue to wait for final clarity on St. Brown’s ankle. His game-day availability will likely come down to a pre-kickoff evaluation.
