Jadeveon Clowney Sidelined; Amon-Ra St. Brown Set for Thursday Night Football

In a significant update for Thursday Night Football, the Cowboys will be without edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney due to an ongoing hamstring issue. Despite efforts to test his condition before the game, Clowney was unable to participate. His absence is a blow for the Cowboys, who have relied on his performance. Clowney recorded two sacks during the Thanksgiving Day game.

The team will lean on other players, including Donovan Ezeiruaku, Dante Fowler, and Sam Williams, to fill the gap left by Clowney. In addition to Clowney, the Cowboys have several other players listed as inactive, which includes:

  • Wide receiver Jalen Tolbert
  • Running back Jaydon Blue
  • Defensive tackle Jay Toia
  • Defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey
  • Left tackle Tyler Guyton (ankle injury)

Amon-Ra St. Brown: Ready for Action

On the other side of the field, the Lions will have wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Despite missing practice this week due to an ankle injury, St. Brown is expected to play. This season, he has impressed with 75 receptions, accumulating 884 yards and scoring nine touchdowns.

However, the Lions also have a list of inactive players. They include:

  • Wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle injury)
  • Safety Kerby Joseph (knee injury)
  • Tight end Hayden Rucci
  • Offensive guard Kayode Awosika (foot injury)
  • Defensive lineman Tyler Lacy
  • Defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo

Game Implications

The absence of Jadeveon Clowney from the Cowboys lineup may impact their defensive schemes. Meanwhile, Amon-Ra St. Brown’s active status will boost the Lions’ receiving corps. Fans are eager to see how both teams adapt to these changes in their rosters.
