Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered a knee injury that he played through yesterday. It was determined to only be a minor contusion and cramping, so it is unlikely that he will miss additional time, great news for the Lions and fantasy managers.
Adam Schefter of ESPN: "Despite being hobbled during Sunday’s game, Lions WR Amon-Ra initially was determined to have only a contusion and cramping, per source."
Any knee injury to a first-round fantasy pick sets off alarms, but it appears that St. Brown will be fine to continue playing.
A knee contusion is just a minor bruising of the knee that will heal by itself over a few weeks. It usually isn't limiting for an NFL player to go out and play through, as seen on Sunday with St. Brown able to go back onto the field.
With the Lions losing to the Buccaneers this week, there will be a heavy emphasis on going back to what made the offense great a year ago, and that includes St. Brown.
Expect him to be involved more in the offense and that this injury won't hold him back in the slightest from getting back to the All-Pro season he had in 2023.
