Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Limited at Wednesday's walkthrough
Rotowire
St. Brown was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a rib injury, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
St. Brown made a brief exit during this past Sunday's win against the Vikings due to an undisclosed injury but was able to return, finishing with seven catches (on eight targets) for 46 yards and one carry for 10 yards. The nature of the health concern has been revealed, but his ability to practice in some capacity Wednesday generally bodes well for his status ahead of Sunday's game at Miami.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Quiet game with eight touches
Rotowire
St. Brown secured seven of eight targets for 46 yards and rushed once for 10 yards in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
The star wideout suffered an injury scare in the first quarter on a play where an apparent 24-yard touchdown catch was overturned on replay, but St. Brown was able to return before long and finish the game. However, the suffocating Vikings defense, which St. Brown had enjoyed success against in the past, did a good job limiting him after the catch, even though he did finish with team-high reception and target totals. St. Brown now has failed to record a TD grab in four straight games, but he has at least seven receptions in each of those contests heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Dolphins.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Reenters Sunday's game
Rotowire
St. Brown (undisclosed) returned to Sunday's game versus the Vikings.
A potential 24-yard TD connection between St. Brown and QB Jared Goff was overturned in the first quarter, after which the wide receiver left the sideline for the locker room. Now that St. Brown is back in Sunday's contest, though, he'll look to buil upon the two official catches (on three targets) for 12 yards that he amassed before exiting.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Makes trip to locker room Sunday
Rotowire
St. Brown headed to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Vikings due to an apparent injury, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Immediately after having a 24-yard touchdown reception overturned following a replay review with 4:32 left in the first quarter, St. Brown left the Detroit sideline and headed to the locker room, where he remained for the rest of the drive. Expect the Lions to provide further details on St. Brown's status in short order, but for the time being, he's questionable to return to Sunday's contest.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
St. Brown (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.
Head coach Dan Campbell told Richard Silva of The Detroit News on Monday that St. Brown tweaked his ankle during this past Sunday's win against the Packers, and while the wide receiver sat out Wednesday's session, he was able to handle a full workload one day later, fulfilling Campbell's prediction. St. Brown thus should be good for the 11.3 targets per game that he's averaged through six appearances this season Sunday versus the Vikings.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Returns to practice Thursday
Rotowire
St. Brown (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Dan Campbell gave some key players a day off Wednesday, with St. Brown among them. The star wideout is practicing the following day. If St. Brown manages to practice without limitations, he'll eliminate any remaining doubts about his availability for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Sits out Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
St. Brown (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
St. Brown logged a typical 78 percent snap share during this past Sunday's win against the Packers, reeling off nine catches for 153 yards on 11 targets in the process. On Monday, head coach Dan Campbell told Richard Silva of The Detroit News that St. Brown tweaked his ankle in that contest but should practice by Thursday. As a result, St. Brown's absence Wednesday doesn't come as a surprise, and he should mix into drills in some capacity Thursday.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Nursing ankle issue, should play Week 8
Rotowire
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that St. Brown tweaked his ankle during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Packers but should be ready to practice Thursday, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.
Campbell is planning for St. Brown to rest during the Lions' first Week 8 session Wednesday, but the star wideout should be able to practice during the subsequent two days to put himself on a path to play Sunday against the undefeated Vikings. The ankle injury likely explains why he saw a slight decline in playing time -- he logged 53 of 68 offensive snaps (78 percent) -- but St. Brown still delivered for fantasy managers in the win over Green Bay. Though he was held out of the end zone for the third game in a row, St. Brown finished with nine receptions for a season-high 153 yards.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: New season high in receiving yards
Rotowire
St. Brown caught nine of 11 targets for 153 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Packers.
The 153 yards were a new season high for St. Brown, topping the 142 yards he amassed against the Bills in Week 2. The star wideout's touchdown drought grew to three games, but his 46-525-5 line on 68 targets through six games this season remains elite. St. Brown will face a tough test in Week 8 against the dominant defense of the undefeated Vikings.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Salvages day with TD in Week 3 win
Rotowire
St. Brown caught four of eight targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.
The star wideout tied Jaymyr Gibbs to lead the Lions in targets, but St. Brown did little with his volume aside from a four-yard TD strike from Jared Goff in the second quarter. It was still St. Brown's fifth score of the season in three games, to go along with 23 catches for 228 yards on 35 targets. He'll likely get plenty of looks from Goff again in Week 4 on the road against the Panthers.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Stellar numbers in Week 2 loss
Rotowire
St. Brown brought in nine of 13 targets for 142 yards and two touchdowns in the Lions' 41-31 loss to the Bills on Thursday.
The Lions played from behind all night, which had a role in St. Brown seeing massive volume on his way to game-high figures in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The star wideout recorded both his scoring grabs in the second half, capping off Detroit's opening drive of the third quarter with a two-yard touchdown and then providing the final points for either side when he hauled in a 27-yard strike from Jared Goff with 1:42 remaining. St. Brown has opened the season in signature fashion with consecutive two-TD tallies, and he'll next take aim at the Jets defense on the fast track of Ford Field on Sunday, Sept. 27.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Finds end zone twice in OT win
Rotowire
St. Brown caught 10 of 14 targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-30 overtime win over the Saints.
The star wideout got the new season started with a bang, leading Detroit in catches, targets and receiving yards while connecting with Jared Goff for a 19-yard score in the third quarter and a four-yard strike in overtime. The latter proved to be the winning TD when New Orleans failed on a two-point attempt on its answering touchdown. St. Brown has scored double-digit TDs in three straight seasons, and he may be well on his way to doing so again. He'll look to make an impact again in Week 2 on the road against the Bills.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Leading impressive WR room
Rotowire
St. Brown is the top option in a wide receiver room that Lions' head coach Dan Campbell described as the "best it's ever been" in camp since Campbell's arrival in 2021, Dharya Sharma of Athlon Sports reports.
St. Brown is entering his sixth season in Detroit, and he just notched his fourth straight campaign with over 1,100 receiving yards. The 26-year-old caught 117 of a career-high 172 targets for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests in 2025. Jameson Williams has come into his own has a prolific big-play threat, opening the field up for St. Brown in the middle of the field. Additionally, Detroit has high hopes for second-year wideout Isaac TeSlaa and free-agent addition Greg Dortch this season. Having an impressive group of wide receivers around St. Brown could prove to benefit the 26-year-old, allowing him to see higher quality targets in Year 1 under new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Looked good at minicamp
Rotowire
Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site relayed following the team's recent minicamp that St. Brown "looks a little stronger and more explosive heading into his sixth season."
As Twentyman notes, St. Brown, the NFL's leader in receptions (547) over the last five years, remains QB Jared Goff's security blanket ahead of the coming campaign and "was a tough cover for Lions defenders all throughout (the June 16-17) minicamp." After racking up 117 catches (on 172 targets, second in the league among WRs) for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games last season, St. Brown remains a high-level fantasy option in 2026, while continuing to pace a Detroit WR corps that also features Jameson Williams and Isaac TeSlaa.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Closes season with flourish
Rotowire
St. Brown secured 11 of 15 targets for 139 yards in the Lions' 19-16 win over the Bears on Sunday.
St. Brown shook off a questionable designation due to a knee injury and put together one of his best performances of the season, as he was targeted early and often by Jared Goff. The star receiver comfortably paced the Lions in receptions, receiving yards and targets, recording his second-highest tallies of the season in the first and third categories in the process. St. Brown is essentially blameless in Detroit's surprising failure to reach the postseason, as the 2021 fourth-round pick recorded 117 receptions for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns and added three carries for nine yards across 17 games. St. Brown will naturally serve as a centerpiece of the Lions' air attack again in 2026.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
St. Brown (knee/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.
St. Brown took a hard hit near the end of last week's loss to Minnesota, but it sounds like that's unrelated to a knee injury that's been bothering him for at least the past few games. He was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, with Lions coach Dan Campbell telling reporters Friday afternoon that St. Brown was "trending the right way" to play. The Lions and Bears are scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Trending in right direction
Rotowire
Lions coach Dan Campbell said Friday that St. Brown (knee/ankle) is "trending the right way" to play Sunday at Chicago, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
On the other hand, Campbell said star right tackle Penei Sewell (ankle) isn't likely to play in the season finale. St. Brown returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, giving him a chance to play in all 17 of Detroit's regular-season games for the third time in his five-year career.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
St. Brown (knee) is considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale on the road at Chicago, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
St. Brown dealt with irritation in his knee leading up to last Thursday's 23-10 loss to the Vikings in which he secured eight of 13 targets for 68 yards, so he may simply be dealing with the same issue leading into Week 18. It's worth noting, though, that St. Brown was forced to walk off the field under this own power late in the fourth quarter versus Minnesota after taking an awkward hit. With Detroit having been eliminated from playoff contention due to the team's Week 17 loss, there won't be much incentive for St. Brown to push through the injury if there are any chances he could aggravate or compound his knee issue.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Active in Week 17
Rotowire
St. Brown (knee) is active for Thursday's game at Minnesota.
Coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press on Tuesday that St. Brown was dealing with "a little irritation" in his knee that held him out of Monday's walkthrough before the wide receiver capped the week with back-to-back limited walkthroughs. The Lions then listed St. Brown as questionable for Week 17 action, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Thursday morning that the wideout was expected to play, which now has been confirmed. Since he missed most of a Thanksgiving matchup with the Packers due to an ankle injury, St. Brown has suited up in each of the last three contests, accruing a 23-310-2 line on 36 targets during that span.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Limited for walkthrough session
Rotowire
The Lions listed St. Brown (knee) as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Earlier Tuesday, head coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press that St. Brown is still battling "a little irritation" in his knee, but the Lions remain optimistic that the star wideout will play in Thursday's game in Minnesota. St. Brown may need to upgrade to full participation in Wednesday's session in order to avoid taking a questionable tag into Thursday, however.
