Amon-Ra St. Brown: returns to practice Thursday (ankle)

THE FACT. Detroit Sports Nation reported Thursday that Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was back on the practice field after sitting out Wednesday with an ankle injury, with his official participation designation still to come. Yahoo Sports reported Wednesday that the rest day was planned and that he was expected back Thursday.

THE VERDICT. This is the outcome his managers wanted. Redraft: start him against Minnesota on Sunday once Friday's report lands as expected. Dynasty: nothing here changes his standing. DFS: no reason to fade him, because a planned Wednesday rest day that resolves by Thursday is not a usage warning.
