Lions S Brian Branch tore his right Achilles' tendon in Thursday night's win over the Cowboys, according to multiple reports. That obviously ends his season and could challenge his readiness for 2026.

It wasn't Jameson Williams' biggest statistical game, but his performance in Thursday night's win over the Cowboys was one of his best as a pro. Williams' evolution from big-play merchant to well-rounded WR was on display throughout the night. He ran impressive routes, such as a deep comeback for a first down on a 2nd-and-17 in the second quarter. And he made multiple tough grabs in traffic. Williams finished with a team-high 96 yards on seven catches and nine targets. He also took an end-around that nearly went for an 8-yard TD, but Williams just barely stepped out of bounds at the 1.

Lions S Brian Branch is active for tonight's game against the Cowboys. He turned up questionable after three limited practices but should be in most IDP lineups for a high-upside matchup with Dallas.

Despite not practicing at all since leaving the Thanksgiving loss early with a sprained ankle, Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is -- in fact -- active for tonight's game against the Cowboys.

The Lions are listing WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Cowboys. That keeps the door open for St. Brown to play, although we're still not counting on it. We'll look for further updates on St. Brown and get Detroit's inactives a little before 7 pm ET tomorrow. WR Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) remained sidelined for Tuesday's practice. He said afterward that he's still uncertain whether he'll be able to play vs. the Cowboys on Thursday night. “I’m not sure right now, if I’m being honest," St. Brown said. "It’s still up in the air. I’ma try to be out there for the guys, for my teammates, but I couldn’t answer that question right now.” We'll see how St. Brown is listed on tomorrow's final injury report, but fantasy owners should not be counting on him playing vs. Dallas. WR Kalif Raymond (ankle) is also expected to miss Week 14, HC Dan Campbell said. That'll leave Jameson Williams, Isaac TeSlaa, and Tom Kennedy as Detroit's top three WRs, if St. Brown is out.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) did not practice on Monday. While he reportedly dodged a serious injury, we're not expecting him to play vs. the Cowboys on Thursday night. WR Kalif Raymond (ankle) and TE Brock Wright (neck) were also sidelined on Monday after missing the Thanksgiving loss to Green Bay.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is believed to have suffered a low-ankle sprain in Thursday's loss to the Packers, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "St. Brown is not expected to land on IR and likely will be week-to-week," Pelissero adds. We'd consider St. Brown unlikely to play vs. the Cowboys next Thursday, but it sounds like he has a chance to make it back for Week 15's meeting with the Rams. Detroit already lost TE Sam LaPorta for the season. We'll see if WR Kalif Raymond and TE Brock Wright can make it back for the Dallas game. Isaac TeSlaa and Tom Kennedy operated as the No. 2 and 3 WRs behind Jameson Williams after St. Brown exited on Thanksgiving.

Lions HC Dan Campbell said after Thursday's loss to the Packers that he doesn't believe WR Amon-Ra St. Brown's ankle injury is long term. "But that doesn't mean it won't be here for ... a week or two," Campbell said. He added that he'll know more about St. Brown's status on Friday, presumably after further testing. We'll keep you updated on the situation, but it at least sounds like St. Brown will be back before the end of the fantasy season.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown got rolled up on in the first quarter of Thursday's game vs. the Packers and headed straight back to the locker room. He's officially questionable to return with an ankle injury. We'll update his status when we know more. Detroit is already without TEs Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright and WR Kalif Raymond today.

Lions TE Brock Wright (neck) is out for Thursday's game vs. the Packers. He'd stepped in as Detroit's lead TE with Sam LaPorta out. Wright's absence leaves the Lions with TEs Anthony Firkser and Ross Dwelley. We wouldn't even mess with this situation in Thanksgiving daily contests.

Here are the absurd numbers that Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs posted in Sunday's OT win over the Giants:

• 15 carries
• 219 rushing yards
• 2 TDs
• 12 targets
• 11 catches
• 45 yards
• 1 TD

He capped that off with the 69-yard TD run that provided the winning points in extra time. Gibbs also scored from 49 yards out on a fourth-quarter run and 3 yards out late in the second quarter.

Bears RB David Montgomery managed just five carries for 18 yards and 3 receptions for 19 yards (among three targets) in Sunday's OT win over the Giants. He trailed Jahmyr Gibbs by 10 carries and nine targets for the game.

Lions HC Dan Campbell said Friday that TE Sam LaPorta had back surgery and that his chances of returning this season are "very, very slim." We'll look for more details on LaPorta's injury and whether it'll impact his 2026, but he can be dropped from all redraft rosters.

Lions QB Jared Goff endured a brutal passing performance in Sunday night's loss at Philadelphia. He completed just 37.8% of his throws (14 of 37) for 255 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT. It was the worst completion rate of Goff's career. And the other four times he fell short of 50% all came before he left the Rams (as did most of the rest of his "worst" list). Highlights against the Eagles included a mid-range connection with WR Jameson Williams over the middle that turned into a 40-yard TD, and a short-range throw to Jahmyr Gibbs that became a 42-yard gain.

The Lions placed TE Sam LaPorta on IR ahead of Sunday night's game against the Eagles because of his back injury. That means at least another three games without the third-year man. Despite entering the game questionable with his own ankle issue, Brock Wright took over the lead TE role. He ranked fourth on the team with 26 pass routes, trailing WRs Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, and RB Jahmyr Gibbs. Wright also tied for third on the team with seven targets but caught just two of those for 8 yards on a limited passing night for his team.

The most-discussed aspect of Detroit's Sunday night loss at Philadelphia appears to be the strong performance by the Eagles defense, followed closely by complaints about the officiating and insults hurled at Jalen Hurts' passing. But the biggest offensive star of the minimally offensive 16-9 game was easily RB Jahmyr Gibbs. He rushed just 12 times for 39 yards (3.3 per rush), Gibbs' second lackluster rushing performance among the past three games. But he racked up a career-high 107 receiving yards on a team-high 5 catches. Gibbs' eight targets ranked second on the team. His 28 pass routes ranked third and tied his season high, set back in Week 1.

The Lions placed TE Sam LaPorta on IR with his back injury. He's out through at least through Week 14, and it's unclear if he'll be ready to return when first eligible in Week 15. We still don't have any details on this back injury. LaPorta is worth trying to hang on to in fantasy leagues, but he's not a must-hold if you need the roster space. TE Brock Wright is next up on Detroit's depth chart but owns just 65 catches in 67 career games. TE Ross Dwelley -- 45 catches in 108 games -- is also on the active roster. TEs Anthony Firkser and Zach Horton are on the practice squad. We wouldn't bother with any of these guys in fantasy right now. Expect most of LaPorta's targets to be spread to WRs Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams and RBs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta (back) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Eagles. We don’t have any details on his injury, but LaPorta didn’t practice all week and could miss further time. TE Brock Wright is the next man up for Detroit but will not have anywhere near as big a role in the passing game as LaPorta. Expect more targets to be pushed to WRs Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams and RB Jahmyr Gibbs.

Update: Wright (ankle) is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Avoid Lions TEs in Week 11 fantasy lineups.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta (back) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. We still don't have any details on this back issue, but LaPorta is seemingly in danger of missing Sunday night's game vs. the Eagles. We'll see if he practices tomorrow and then how he's listed on the final injury report.
