Cowboys-Lions Injury Report: St. Brown ACTIVE

Lions Injury Report

Detroit enters Week 14 banged up at several key spots, but the biggest headline is a positive one: Amon-Ra St. Brown is officially ACTIVE. Despite a lower-ankle sprain suffered on Thanksgiving and early expectations he’d miss 1–2 weeks, St. Brown moved well in warmups and will suit up tonight. His availability is a massive boost for a Lions offense short on pass-catchers.

Detroit will, however, be without several starters. Safety Kerby Joseph (knee) is out, thinning an already-stressed secondary. Starting left guard Kayode Awosika (foot) was downgraded to out on Thursday, further complicating Detroit’s offensive-line continuity. WR Kalif Raymond also remains sidelined with an ankle injury. The team recently placed TE Brock Wright on IR, while WRs Tom Kennedy, Jameson Williams, and Isaac TeSlaa are expected to rotate more snaps to support St. Brown’s limited workload.

Cowboys Injury Report

Dallas’ biggest concern entering tonight became reality: DE Jadeveon Clowney is OUT after testing his hamstring pregame. His absence significantly impacts the Cowboys’ edge run defense, especially dangerous against Detroit’s outside-zone rushing attack. Expect Dante Fowler Jr., Sam Williams, and elevated practice-squad DE Isaiah Land to fill the void. Also notably missing from the lineup is CB Trevon Diggs, who Dallas was hoping to take off IR this week. 

Starting LT Tyler Guyton (ankle) will miss another game, leaving backup Nate Thomas to protect Dak Prescott’s blind side against a strong Lions front. The Cowboys’ depth chart also thins slightly at receiver and running back, where Jalen Tolbert and Jaydon Blue continue to rotate as healthy scratches.
