Lions Get Final Amon-Ra St. Brown Injury Update Before Patriots Game

The Detroit Lions have received the news they wanted ahead of their Week 10 showdown with the New England Patriots in Germany.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is officially active for Sunday’s matchup at Allianz Arena, meaning Detroit will have its leading wide receiver available despite concerns surrounding his rib injury.

St. Brown entered the weekend listed as questionable after being limited throughout the week of practice. However, the designation never appeared to create serious concern among those following the situation.

ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler had already indicated that he would be surprised if the Lions receiver missed the game. Detroit’s official inactive report has now confirmed that expectation.

There is also a personal connection making Sunday’s appearance particularly meaningful for St. Brown. His mother was born in Germany, and the receiver has spoken about how special it is to play an NFL game in the country.

The Lions will certainly welcome his presence against a Patriots team looking to bounce back from its loss to Green Bay.

St. Brown has been one of Jared Goff’s most dependable targets this season. Through eight games, he has recorded 61 receptions for 657 yards and five touchdowns.

He also showed last week that the rib issue would not necessarily keep him from making an impact, catching eight passes for 86 yards in Detroit’s win over Miami.

Having him available gives Goff another important weapon as the Lions look to continue their strong season.

Detroit still has important absences to manage, with Kerby Joseph, Cade Mays and D.J. Reed ruled out. But getting St. Brown onto the field is a major positive heading into this international matchup.

The Sun God is ready for Germany, and the Lions will have their star receiver when they take on New England.
