Amon-Ra St. Brown is going to give it a go in Thursday night's massive matchup.
The Detroit Lions wide receiver is active for Thursday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys, a game rife with postseason implications.
St. Brown was questionable to play and did not practice Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
The two-time All-Pro was injured in Detroit's Thanksgiving defeat against the rival Green Bay Packers.
St. Brown said during the week he was uncertain if he would be able to play Thursday. It turns out he'll be able to, but it still remains to be seen how many snaps St. Brown has in him and how effective he can be.
Through 12 starts this season, St. Brown is tops on the Lions with 75 receptions, 884 yards and nine touchdowns.
Detroit (7-5) sits at No. 8 in the NFC playoff seedings after losing twice over its previous three games and is just a spot ahead of the Cowboys (6-5-1) at No. 9.
However, Dallas is trending upward with a three-game winning streak ahead of Thursday's much-anticipated game.
Going into the prime-time showdown without St. Brown would have been a massive hit for the Lions, even more so considering the Jared Goff-led offense is already operating without tight end Sam LaPorta, who's out for the season with a back injury.
Even with St. Brown playing, bigger contributions could be in store for Jameson Williams, who's recorded 38 catches for 706 yards and six touchdowns this season.
The Cowboys and host Lions kick off Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET.
