Aubrey converted all five of his field-goal tries and his lone PAT in Thursday's Week 14 loss to the Lions.

Aubrey kept the Cowboys close for most of the game with his big leg. Among his field-goal makes were a 57-yarder in the first quarter, a 55-yarder in the second and a 63-yarder in the third. He now has six career field goals of 60-plus yards, the most in NFL history. Aubrey is 27-for-29 on FG tries and 28-of-29 on PATs this season.

St. Brown (ankle) brought in six of nine targets for 92 yards in the Lions' 44-30 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.

The standout receiver's availability was in question leading up to game day due to the low-ankle sprain he'd suffered on Thanksgiving against the Packers, but St. Brown looked to be free of any limitations while making several noteworthy catches. St. Brown finished second in receptions and receiving yards on the night, while also tying Jameson Williams for the team lead in targets. The fifth-year pro also helped seal Detroit's win via his game-long 37-yard grab with under three minutes remaining, setting up Jahmyr Gibbs' 13-yard touchdown run on the next play. St. Brown has now exceeded 90 receiving yards on five occasions heading into a Week 15 road showdown against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Branch (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

The safety injured his ankle in the second half and had to be carted to the locker room. Branch recorded six tackles (three solo) and a fumble recovery before exiting. Detroit is already down Kerby Joseph (knee) and Thomas Harper (concussion) at safety, leaving Daniel Thomas as the only healthy option.

Lamb has entered concussion protocol and been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Lamb hit his head and shoulder hard after making a leaping attempt for a reception in the end zone early in the third quarter. He was briefly evaluated in the medical tent before heading to the locker room, and he was quickly ruled out from there. Prior to his exit, Lamb had six receptions (on eight targets) for 121 yards.

Lamb was escorted off the field by trainers and into the medical tent for further evaluation during Thursday's game against the Lions, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Lamb went up for a jump ball in the end zone early in the third quarter and came down hard on his head and shoulder. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, though he's likely being evaluated for a concussion at a minimum. After spending a brief time in the medical tent, Lamb walked to the locker room.

Brandel (concussion) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

It's not clear if Brandel has officially cleared concussion protocol, but he's certainly trending in the right direction with his full practice session Thursday. He was said to be symptom-free as of Monday, though he logged a limited practice session Wednesday. Ultimately, Brandel should suit up Sunday against Washington as long as he has indeed cleared protocol by then.

Jackson (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

Jackson injured his ankle against Green Bay in Week 12 and missed this past Sunday's matchup against Seattle. He didn't practice to begin this week of prep, but a limited session Thursday improves his outlook for Sunday's game against Washington. Still, Jackson will probably enter the weekend with an injury designation if he isn't able to upgrade to full participation Friday.

Johnson (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Johnson has missed the last two games after suffering the Lisfranc sprain in Week 11. He was originally expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, and he does not appear on track to make an early comeback at this point. Fred Johnson should start in his place again if he can't go Monday against the Chargers.

Kelly (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Kelly hurt his hip against Seattle on Sunday and began this week with a limited practice session. However, his ability to upgrade to full participation Thursday likely means he'll be good to go for this Sunday's clash against the Commanders. If that's indeed the case, Kelly should start at center, as usual.

Lindstrom (foot) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

Lindstrom was added to the injury report Thursday as he continues to nurse the foot injury that's bothered him for the last month. The offensive lineman has yet to miss a contest this year, so he'll likely operate in his typical starting role at right guard again Sunday versus Seattle.
