It's like a Thanksgiving Day NFL redux.

A week after the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys played back-to-back on turkey day, they now meet one another in a clash on Thursday Night Football to open Week 14.

There's so much talent on each of these rosters, especially on the offensive side of the football, that it shapes up as a potentially thrilling primetime game.

There's really just one question mark: Amon-Ra St. Brown's injury status.

The superstar wide receiver hurt his ankle on Thanksgiving, leaving that game and not returning, putting his availability for TNF in question.

Is Amon-Ra St. Brown playing tonight?

Amon-Ra St. Brown's status for playing Thursday night remains up in the air, with him officially listed as questionable on the Lions' final injury report.

He didn't practice at all this week, yet Detroit hasn't ruled him out, suggesting a last-minute check on the field before the game.

The inactives report comes out at 6:50 p.m. ET, so fans may not know until then whether Amon-Ra is playing.

Lions WR depth chart

The Lions have already ruled out Kalif Raymond, which thins out the depth chart further.

The three main WRs if St. Brown sits are:

  1. Jameson Williams
  2. Isaac TeSlaa
  3. Tom Kennedy

TeSlaa and Kennedy both ran routes on more than 75% of the Lions' passing plays on Thanksgiving, so they're viable last-minute replacements in fantasy football if needed.
