Link to storyDetroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is considered day-to-day because of his knee injury, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
| Footballguys view: Campbell said the knee injury is only part of what St. Brown is dealing with, although it's not a long-term problem. If St. Brown can't play this week, it would be only the third game he's missed in his five seasons and the first since Week 5 of the 2023 season. But if he's healthy, Campbell's comments suggest he'll be on the field Sunday against Chicago, since the best players will play. Having St. Brown play gives Detroit its best chance to finish the season on a positive note, with four straight winning seasons, even though they missed the playoffs. |

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (quadriceps) will undergo testing Monday, Dec. 29, but his quadriceps injury is not believed to be serious.
| Footballguys view: Burden will undergo additional testing today. But even assuming he has avoided a serious injury, the expectation is that the Bears will rest the rookie for their regular-season finale against the Lions, with the hopes of him returning in the wild-card round of the playoffs. The belief is that top wideout Rome Odunze, who's missed the last few games due to a foot injury, will also be ready in time for the postseason. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Tez Johnson caught two passes (on two targets) for 19 yards in a Week 17 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
Link to storyChicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (hamstring) was carted off after suffering a left hamstring injury on the final play against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17. Burden had eight catches for 138 yards and a touchdown in the 42-38 loss.
| Footballguys view: Burden tried to walk off the field but fell to the ground. After attempting to walk off the field with trainers, Burden was carted to the locker room. According to ESPN's Courtney Cronin, Burden was seen grabbing his left hamstring, making his way in for an X-ray after the game at Levi's Stadium. We'll be watching for more. |
