The Detroit Lions released their official Week 14 inactives list — and fans finally got the news they’ve been waiting for. Star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been cleared to play against the Dallas Cowboys, despite dealing with an ankle issue throughout the week.
St. Brown logged limited work in practice, creating uncertainty surrounding his availability for this key primetime matchup. But after pregame testing, the medical staff and coaches agreed he was healthy enough to suit up, giving the Lions a much-needed boost on offense.
Detroit will still be without several contributors, as a handful of players were listed inactive, leaving depth thin in key areas. But St. Brown’s return drastically changes the offensive outlook. His reliability on third downs, route sharpness, and chemistry with Jared Goff make him the centerpiece of Detroit’s passing attack.
With the Cowboys’ aggressive defense, having St. Brown on the field could be the difference between maintaining offensive rhythm or struggling to keep pace. Detroit enters this matchup under pressure after recent injuries and inconsistent performances, but the availability of their top playmaker gives them a fighting chance under the national spotlight.
