Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and running back David Montgomery both logged full practices Wednesday ahead of the team’s Thanksgiving game. Both players are still questionable to play but are trending in the right direction.
Despite dealing with setbacks on a short turnaround, Lions head coach Dan Campbell expressed optimism that both players would be available earlier this week. Montgomery will try to play through a shoulder injury while St. Brown is dealing with knee soreness.
Even without two star players, the Lions would still be a dangerous opponent for the Bears Thursday. With Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta catching passes and Jahmyr Gibbs in the backfield, Detroit’s attack would still be extremely potent, if somewhat diminished.
With Montgomery and St. Brown both getting a full practice in, however, Detroit should be fully equipped with its usual offense. Montgomery has paired perfectly with Gibbs all season, as the two have combined to form the most dangerous rushing game in the NFL. St. Brown, meanwhile, is having another career year as one of the league’s top wide receivers.

Though the two playmakers were major names on the injury report, they were not the only Lions players dealing with issues. Cornerback Carlton Davis and tackle Taylor Decker have already been declared out, while cornerback Terrion Arnold and defensive lineman D.J. Reader have been cleared of a designation. The team sent wide receiver Kalif Raymond to the IR earlier this week.
The Bears aren’t dealing with any notable injuries, but with rookie Caleb Williams under center, the team is sure to be an underdog against the NFC’s strongest team. Williams nearly led Chicago to an upset victory over the Vikings last week, a strong performance that could help the team build momentum in a daunting NFC North division.

Обратиться за помощью стоит, если состояние больного ухудшается, человек не может самостоятельно остановить употребление алкоголя, агрессивно ведет себя, жалуется на боли, бессонницу, тревогу, депрессии, рвоту, тремор, сильную интоксикацию или физические симптомы отмены.
