The Detroit Lions (7-5) and Dallas Cowboys (6-5-1) were back on the practice field on Tuesday as they prepare for their Week 14 showdown on “Thursday Night Football.”
Let’s take a look at the latest injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note: Any changes from the last injury report will be bolded.
NOTE: Terrion Arnold (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report and placed on injured reserve. After requiring shoulder surgery, his season is over.
Amon-Ra St. Brown has missed his second straight practice this week with an ankle injury he suffered in the first quarter of the Thanksgiving Day game. It certainly seems like he’s trending toward possibly just missing one game, but coach Dan Campbell wouldn’t yet declare him out for this week’s matchup with the Cowboys

Zylstra started his injury evaluation clock on Monday, returning from a Week 2 ankle injury. Now he is being listed with a knee injury, which is obviously concerning for his return.
Decker taking a day off in the middle of the week is not abnormal. While he’s technically listed with a shoulder injury, it’s probably just as accurate to call this a rest day, as he’s managed that injury all season long.
Sewell’s addition to the injury report is something to watch because it’s a new shoulder injury. It’s too early to know if this will impact his availability this week, but with no media access on Wednesday, we’ll just have to wait until the final injury report of the week.
