Impact of Amon-Ra St. Brown’s injury
St. Brown is one of the toughest players in the NFL, but concussions aren’t injuries a player can overcome. If it’s a concussion, St. Brown will be ruled out.
If that happens, the Lions will need more out of Jameson Williams, Isaac TeSlaa and DeAndre Carter.
That said, none of those players can do what St. Brown can on a football field, so his loss will be a massive blow to the Lions’ offense, especially in a tough matchup against an elite Minnesota defense.
