The Detroit Lions are entering a must-win game versus the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day in Week 17, and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown's status is up in the air.
St. Brown is dealing with a knee injury suffered during Detroit's Week 16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it caused him to miss Monday's practice.
On a short week, will St. Brown push through and play in Week 17?
Will Amon-Ra St. Brown play in Week 17?
We don't know whether St. Brown will suit up on Thursday, but the Lions did receive some positive news regarding his injury on Tuesday.
After not practicing on Monday, St. Brown was listed as a limited participant during Tuesday's estimated injury report, as Detroit held a walkthrough. Head coach Dan Campbell stated that St. Brown still has some irritation in his knee, but upgrading his status on the injury report is good news.
"Yeah, it's positive news, but he's a little irritated, Campbell said on Tuesday. "There's a little irritation. Short week. We'll see, but I would say it's still positive news," Campbell said.
We'll see if St. Brown ends up playing this week, as the short week could make it tough for the Pro Bowler to get on the field in Week 17.
