The Detroit Lions (7-5) and Dallas Cowboys (6-5-1) have declared their inactives ahead of their Week 14 matchup at Ford Field on “Thursday Night Football.” In case you missed it earlier today, the Lions made a handful of roster moves, including placing TE Brock Wright on injured reserve, signing CB Nick Whiteside to the active roster, and downgrading current starting left guard Kayode Awosika to OUT for this game.
The biggest news most fans have been waiting for surrounds Lions’ ALL-Pro WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, who WILL PLAY Thursday night.
The Lions apparently saw some positive progress in Amon-Ra St. Brown’s ankle injury during pre-game warm-ups, as he is not listed among the inactives for this game, which means he is very likely to play against the Cowboys. Originally given a 1-2 week injury outlook, St. Brown was insistent that he’d have a chance to play this week, and he’s once again beat the odds. While St. Brown could see limited action in this game, having him available at all is a tremendous benefit.
