DETROIT — Lions star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown seems to have escaped a major injury, suffering only from cramps and a contusion during the 20-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, as reported by ESPN.
St. Brown recorded 11 catches for 119 yards, providing a solid performance after a quiet season debut. However, he exited the game twice due to injuries, including during the final drive. After reaching the sideline, he collapsed and did not return, and was later seen limping out of the locker room post-game.
“He’s all right,” head coach Dan Campbell said. “I don’t think it’s anything long-term, so that’s good news.”
For a team that managed just 16 points despite nearly 500 yards of offense, this is reassuring news. They’ll need St. Brown next week when they face the Arizona Cardinals.
However, other injury concerns remain, as linebacker Alex Anzalone left the game with a brain injury, and cornerback Ennis Rakestraw was injured during pregame warmups, being scratched just before kickoff.
