Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell updated the status of wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown ahead of the team's season finale against the Chicago Bears.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown's status for Week 18 against the Bears is in question. He is considered day-to-day with a knee injury.

Detroit's injury situation, draft position, 2026 schedule and finishing with a winning record all are considerations going into finale.

The Detroit Lions are losing a coach as the 2025-26 season winds down, with the Christmas game against the Vikings looming.

Coach Ben Johnson said the Chicago Bears will be “playing to win” in the regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Detroit’s defense mustered only seven pressures and let the Packers offense get off to the hot start they knew it couldn’t let happen. The Lions fell into a 17-3 halftime hole and never showed anything that would make anyone think they had a chance to come back.

The Vikings beat the Lions because of their defense. Brian Flores' unit, which entered the game having gone seven straight weeks without allowing a passing touchdown, dominated. The Vikings forced five turnovers. They shut down Detroit's run game, and quarterback Jared Goff looked flustered.
