Overview
- Detroit WR Amon-Ra St. Brown missed Monday’s walkthrough with a knee issue that “popped up,” and the team has not set a timetable, coach Dan Campbell said.
- The Lions’ postseason path requires winning out and the Packers losing their final two games, heightening the stakes for Thursday’s trip to Minnesota.
- Kansas City is expected to start QB3 Chris Oladokun in Week 17 after season-ending injuries at the position and the club’s playoff elimination.
- Washington is projected to start veteran Josh Johnson on the short week with Marcus Mariota and Jayden Daniels unavailable.
- Minnesota is preparing to use rookie Max Brosmer at quarterback, as sportsbooks and DFS slates adjust to the Christmas lineup changes, and Jacksonville’s six-game surge with a statement win in Denver is reshaping AFC seeding.
