Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images Amon-Ra St. Brown’s injuries have been updated and the initial reports are positive. Here’s what we know: During Sunday’s Detroit Lions game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown appeared to be working through some fourth-quarter injuries and was unable to finish the game. Following the conclusion of the game, coach Dan Campbell said there were no long-term concerns. On Monday morning, ESPN’s Adam Schefter added more context to that statement, noting that while St. Brown was “hobbled during Sunday’s game, Lions WR Amon-Ra initially was determined to have only a contusion and cramping.” After a quiet Week 1, St. Brown returned to form in Week 2, catching 11 passes for 119 receiving yards on 19 targets. Throughout the game, St. Brown took several low shots to his legs and required attention from Lions trainers on two separate occasions. The first occurred late in the third quarter, when St. Brown managed to jog off the field, and then again late in the fourth quarter when the Lions receiver was moving more gingerly and was unable to return. While cramping is an easily correctable issue, contusions have a wide range of impacts. Some can be brushed off and worked through, while others can be painful and problematic. He’ll have a full week to recover before the Lions take on the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday, but it wouldn’t be surprising if St. Brown is limited or potentially even unable to practice for some or all of the upcoming week. The Lions don’t officially get back on the practice field until Wednesday—and it’s not unusual for players injured during games to get Wednesdays off—and we will likely get a better idea of when he stands then.
