The Detroit Lions had a big scare in their Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had to leave the field several times with an apparent leg injury.
St. Brown was initially knocked out in the third quarter before returning. But St. Brown limped off the field again in the fourth quarter and fell on the sideline once he got on the field.
Fortunately, the news was positive for St. Brown after the game, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter reporting that St. Brown was suffering from a bruise and cramps. Head coach Dan Campbell later confirmed that there was no long term concerns for St. Brown.
While that’s all well and good, there has been no confirmation yet that St. Brown will be around in Week 3. On Wednesday, the Lions released their first injury report of the week, giving us a glimpse of his status heading into Sunday.

After having a quiet week 1 against the The Los Angeles Rams With just three receptions for 13 yards, St. Brown returned to form in Week 2 against the Bucs, posting team-highs in receptions (11) and receiving yards (119) on an impressive 19 targets.
He’ll look to continue his momentum when the Lions travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals in Week 3. St. Brown is looking for his first touchdown of 2024.
