Is Amon-Ra St. Brown playing tonight? Lions WR's status revealed for Week 14 TNF clash vs. Packers

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown hasn't scored in his last two games against the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts, ending an eight-game touchdown streak. Despite not scoring, St. Brown had strong performances in both games, contributing to Lions victories.

The WR will be hoping to get his name back on the scoreboard when the Detroit Lions play the Green Bay Packers at Ford Field on Thursday.

Exploring Amon-Ra St. Brown's availability status for Thursday Night Football

Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a particularly resilient player for the Detroit Lions because he rarely misses games through injuries. He has not missed a game this season and is not in danger of missing Thursday night's game against the Green Bay Packers.

St. Brown is expected to start in Week 14 if he does not experience any pregame injury setbacks, as he was not listed on the Lions' injury report this week.

The Lions offense is nearly fully healthy going into Thursday night's game, but several important defensive players will be sidelined by injury. The team will be missing defensive tackle DJ Reader (shoulder), defensive lineman Josh Paschal (knee) and defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike (hamstring) for the crucial NFC North clash.

Therefore, St. Brown and the Lions offense may need to perform at their best to avoid placing excessive pressure on their injury-ridden defensive unit.

How has Amon-Ra St. Brown performed this season?

Amon-Ra St. Brown hasn't scored a touchdown in two games in a row, which seems like a dip given that he had scored in eight games in a row before. However, he has recorded at least five receptions and amassed 56+ receiving yards in five consecutive games.

The Lions offense is perhaps the most effective in the league this season, and he continues to be the team's strongest threat.

St. Brown is ranked fourth, twelfth and second in the league in terms of catches, receiving yards and touchdowns, respectively. Considering the offensive weapons he shares targets with, he is moving at an amazing rate with 76 receptions, 820 yards and nine touchdowns in 12 games.

In four seasons, St. Brown has accumulated 391 catches, 4,408 receiving yards and 30 touchdowns.
