The Dallas Cowboys are now less than 48 hours away from their date in Detroit. The club is traveling north to take on the Lions, and hopefully extend their first winning streak of the 2025 season to four games. The Cowboys have worked hard to recover from a litany of offseason and early-season injuries, and are generally in a good spot health wise as Week 14 commences. Teams are always dealing with injuries throughout a season, and when it gets to the home stretch, a lot is determined by the overall health picture of a team.
Even with a couple of players ruled out for Thursday night, the Cowboys are in a pretty solid place right now. The Lions are not so fortunate. With Wednesday's final practice completed, there's a muddy picture as to just who they will have at their disposal.

The cub opened his 21-day practice window this week, but they've ruled him out from this pivotal contest against the Lions. He's joining left tackle Tyler Guyton as players already on the shelf. For the Lions, they are hoping it's not a totally depleted look when the opening whistle blows.
Already without star TE Sam LaPorta, who is on IR for the rest of the year as of two weeks ago, his primary backup Brock Wright is ruled out as well with a neck injury. Of bigger concerns for their offense though, is that Amon-Ra St. Brown is questionable after a Week 13 ankle injury knocked him out of that contest early. St. Brown will be a game-time decision despite not practicing all week. To make matters worse, starting wideout Kalif Raymond is ruled out already.
Four of the Lions' starting offensive linemen are questionable, which doesn't help considering they've been down in their performance from recent years. With the Cowboys' defensive line gelling over the last month, that's likely going to be the key to how this game plays out. They will also be without at least one of their two starting safeties, with the other among their seven questionable designations.
Back on the Cowboys' sideline, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney will be a game-time decision, as he was limited in practice on Wednesday after two DNPs as he deals with a hamstring injury.
