Barring any late injury or setback, Amon-Ra St. Brown will play against the Vikings on Sunday night. The Lions wideout is active on the team roster and is expected to suit up for the Week 18 game.

St. Brown also kept away from the injury report during the week. He took part in full practice sessions on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

The Lions have already qualified for the playoffs, but if they beat the Vikings on Sunday, they will get the top seed in the NFC, which will give them automatic qualification into the Divisional Round, without having to play in the Wild Card Round. Hence, Detroit is expected to field its strongest team, and St. Brown will be part of that offense.

The Lions drafted St. Brown in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL draft. The receiver has gone on to earn three Pro Bowl honors since then, including one for this season.
