Mahogany (lower leg) will play in Detroit's matchup versus the Vikings on Thursday.

Mahogany is officially good to go Thursday after having appeared on the injury report earlier in the week. This marks the 25-year-old's second straight week back in his role as the team's starting left guard after missing five games due to a fractured fibula.

Davenport (shoulder) is active for Thursday's contest against Minnesota.

Davenport was limited in practice leading up to Thursday's divisional clash, but he's ultimately earned the green light to suit up Christmas Day. Across six regular-season appearances so far, Davenport has totaled 10 tackles (four solo) including 1.0 sacks.

Muhammad (abdomen) is active for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Muhammad was initially listed as questionable, but he's ready to suit up Christmas Day. The starting defensive end has racked up 23 tackles (13 solo), including 9.0 sacks, across 15 regular-season appearances in 2025.

Decker (shoulder) has been ruled out for Detroit's matchup versus the Vikings on Thursday.

Decker has been playing through his shoulder injury since November but will now be forced to miss his first game of the campaign. Dan Skipper is in line to start at left tackle with Decker sidelined.

Robertson (hand) is active for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Robertson was able to play through a hand injury against the Steelers in Week 16, and the sixth-year pro will do so again Christmas Day. He has accumulated 31 tackles (25 solo), nine pass defenses and one forced fumble in the eight games since the Lions' Week 8 bye.

Kennedy (abdomen) is active for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Kennedy was initially listed as questionable for Week 17, but he's been cleared to suit up Christmas Day. He'll handle his usual role as Detroit's top kick returner while also contributing as a depth option at wide receiver.

Rypien (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Lions but will act as Minnesota's emergency No. 3 quarterback.

Rypien will get a chance to operate as the Vikings' emergency third-string quarterback with starter J.J. McCarthy (hand) ruled out for Thanksgiving Day. In order for Rypien to take the field, both Max Brosmer and John Wolford would have to be forced out versus Detroit due to injury, illness or ejection.

Montgomery (illness) is listed as active Thursday in Minnesota.

Montgomery missed Tuesday's walkthrough due to an illness and followed it up with a limited walkthrough Wednesday before the Lions listed him as questionable for Week 17 action. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Thursday morning that Montgomery was expected to suit up, which now has come to pass. Working solidly behind No. 1 RB Jahmyr Gibbs over the last six games, Montgomery has reached double-digit touches only once during that stretch en route to 241 yards from scrimmage and three rushing TDs on 43 touches.

O'Neil (heel) has been ruled out for Minnesota's game versus the Lions on Thursday.

O'Neil managed to play through the injury during last week's win over the Giants but will be unable to do so against Detroit. In his absence, Walter Rouse should get the start at right tackle for Thursday's matchup.

St. Brown (knee) is active for Thursday's game at Minnesota.

Coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press on Tuesday that St. Brown was dealing with "a little irritation" in his knee that held him out of Monday's walkthrough before the wide receiver capped the week with back-to-back limited walkthroughs. The Lions then listed St. Brown as questionable for Week 17 action, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Thursday morning that the wideout was expected to play, which now has been confirmed. Since he missed most of a Thanksgiving matchup with the Packers due to an ankle injury, St. Brown has suited up in each of the last three contests, accruing a 23-310-2 line on 36 targets during that span.
