Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown appears to have avoided a significant injury after being briefly hobbled during Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He sustained a lower leg injury, described by head coach Dan Campbell as a “soft tissue issue,” but the team remains optimistic about his status. Campbell reassured reporters post game that the injury isn’t considered long-term, a sentiment echoed during his Monday press conference.
Medical evaluations determined that St. Brown suffered a contusion and cramping rather than a more severe issue. While his practice participation this week will be closely monitored, the expectation is that he will be ready for the Lions’ next game against the Arizona Cardinals. St. Brown has a history of playing through injuries, making it likely he will suit up barring any setbacks in practice.
Lions star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown provided a sigh of relief for Detroit fans after sustaining an apparent lower-leg injury during Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay. The incident occurred late in the game when St. Brown limped off following a low hit. Despite missing the final plays, reports confirmed that the injury was minor. Head coach Dan Campbell and insider sources classified it as a soft tissue issue, likely a contusion coupled with cramping, rather than a structural problem【6】【7】.
St. Brown’s post game examinations showed no major concerns, and he remains on track to play in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. However, his participation in practice is expected to be limited as a precaution. Campbell’s optimism, coupled with St. Brown’s proven durability—he has often played through pain in previous seasons—bodes well for his return to full strength【6】【7】.
The Lions will likely tread carefully to ensure his recovery, given his crucial role in their offense. His performance this season continues to be vital, with standout games such as his 119-yard outing against Tampa Bay prior to the injury. Fantasy managers and fans alike should keep an eye on midweek practice reports to confirm his availability【7】.
