Amon-Ra St Brown injury update: The Detroit Lions received some good news ahead of their Thursday night game against the Dallas Cowboys. Amid concerns around Amon-Ra St Brown, the top wide receiver could be seen practicing and going through drills before the game. He could actually be ready to play.

This comes after the Lions listed Brown as questionable for Week 14. He suffered an ankle sprain during the first quarter against the Green Bay Packers when an offensive lineman rolled up on his leg. The star WR has a team-leading 75 receptions, 884 yards and nine touchdowns this season.

"I know this. If he can play, he'll play," Lions coach Dan Campbell said.

Just before the game, NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that Brown hadn't practiced all week.

“Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown did not practice this week due to his ankle sprain and a return next week was considered the more “realistic expectation”, per source. But the team also knows St. Brown is one of the NFL’s toughest players, and if anyone can come back sooner, it’s him,” Schefter wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.
