At 7-5 and currently just outside the NFC playoff picture, the Lions can't afford a loss to a Cowboys team that's also competing for a wild-card spot.

Terrion Arnold, who has been bothered by a shoulder injury, was officially placed on injured reserve Tuesday. He appeared in eight games this year.

Trevon Diggs returns to practice, and George Pickens is limited ahead of Week 14. The Lions are also hurting; they'll be without a key DB.

The Lions playing on Thanksgiving is a tradition among the oldest in the NFL, but it hasn't always meant wins for Detroit.

Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown won't make a decision on his injury availability for the Cowboys until gametime Thursday night.

More reinforcements may be on the way for the Dallas Cowboys. In an interview with 105.3 The Fan, team owner Jerry Jones predicted star cornerback Trevon Diggs will be back in Week 14 to take on the Detroit Lions. Diggs has had a season for forget in 2026, posting just 18 tackles with zero passes defensed and zero interceptions in six games played.
