Amon-Ra St. Brown Injury Update: Lions WR Status for Cowboys Game
The Detroit Lions face a challenging situation ahead of their matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on December 4. The team is dealing with a series of injuries that threaten their playoff hopes. The most pressing concern is the status of wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Injury Update
Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered an ankle injury during the Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game against the Green Bay Packers. A lineman rolled on his leg, forcing him to exit the game early. Since then, his availability for the upcoming game has been uncertain.
Current Status
- The Lions have listed St. Brown as “questionable” on their final injury report.
- Adam Schefter from ESPN reported that the Lions are undecided about St. Brown’s status for the game.
- There are indications that he may not play, with a return in Week 15 being more feasible.
St. Brown has missed only two games in his five-year career, the latest being due to an abdominal injury. Despite being classified as “week-to-week” following a low ankle sprain, the team has not placed him on injured reserve.
Impact on the Team
The Lions enter Week 14 with a 7-5 record. Their postseason aspirations hang in the balance, particularly without key offensive players. Notably, tight end Sam LaPorta has been lost for the season.
Lions’ Wide Receiver Depth
Currently, the Lions have six wide receivers on their roster:
- Amon-Ra St. Brown (injured)
- Jameson Williams
- Kalif Raymond
- Isaac TeSlaa
- Tom Kennedy
- Dominic Lovett
Jameson Williams is expected to be the primary target for quarterback Jared Goff if St. Brown is unavailable. Williams showcased his potential with 144 yards and one touchdown during the Thanksgiving game. Meanwhile, TeSlaa could see increased playing time, especially given his size and potential in the red zone.
As the Lions prepare for this crucial game, fans remain hopeful that Amon-Ra St. Brown will recover in time to contribute to the team’s efforts to secure a playoff spot.
