Rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs was a new addition to Friday's lengthy injury report and is listed as questionable.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Friday that the team will know more about St. Brown's availability over the next 24 hours, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The designation provides hope that the star wideout could suit up Sunday against Carolina after not practicing all week.

Jameson Williams (not injury-related) and Josh Reynolds (groin) are also listed as questionable, leaving Kalif Raymond, Marvin Jones, and Antoine Green as the only wideouts remaining on the active roster.
