The Detroit Lions are playing their final game of the 2025 campaign on Sunday and they may not have the services of wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown for it.
St. Brown entered last week with a knee issue and was shaken up on the final play of the Week 17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, which led to him having an ankle issue tacked on to the knee problem.
St. Brown missed practice on Wednesday before closing out the week with two limited sessions and receiving the questionable tag for Sunday.
Here's the latest on St. Brown's chances of suiting up in the Week 18 game against the Chicago Bears.
Is Amon-Ra St. Brown playing today?
Yes, St. Brown is expected to play in the regular-season finale versus Chicago.
During the week, head coach Dan Campbell said St. Brown was trending in the right direction toward playing.
St. Brown also said he feels good enough to play.
"I feel solid," St. Brown said, per Tim Twentyman of the team's official website. "I would say a little banged up but good enough to go and that's all that really matters."
St. Brown is one of the toughest players in the NFL and as long as he has a pulse, he's going to play.
With the Lions having nothing to play for, there has been some thought about whether or not the team would play its starters.
Campbell made it pretty clear that everyone would play.
“We’re not playing for the playoffs, but there are still things we can find out,” he said during the week, according to the Detroit Free Press. “And I expect the guys that we have here to give it what they’ve got one more time. That’s the expectation.”
