Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown appeared on the injury report Friday with a rib issue ahead of the team’s Week 10 game against the New England Patriots in Munich. He is listed as questionable, but ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said he would be surprised if St. Brown did not play.
Fowler reported that the injury had limited St. Brown in practice, while people around the Lions were reportedly confident he would be available. St. Brown has previously played through a high ankle sprain on a Thursday night and delivered a strong performance. Fowler also noted that St. Brown has family in Germany who plan to watch him play, adding to the expectation that he will suit up unless the injury is serious.
St. Brown has missed only two games in his career, both in Week 18 after Detroit had already secured its playoff seeding.
## St. Brown’s Production With the Lions
A fourth-round pick, St. Brown made an immediate impact in the NFL, recording 90 catches for 912 yards as a rookie. He followed that with 106 receptions for 1,161 yards and his first Pro Bowl selection in his second season.
In 2023, St. Brown earned his second Pro Bowl nod and first All-Pro selection after totaling 119 catches for 1,515 yards. He signed a major extension with Detroit and added another All-Pro honor in 2024, finishing with 115 receptions for 1,263 yards.
After offensive coordinator Ben Johnson left the team, St. Brown continued to produce. He recorded 117 catches for 1,401 yards in 2025 and was named second-team All-Pro. This season, he has 86 receptions for 657 yards.
## Lions Face an Important Week 10 Matchup
Detroit enters the Patriots game with a 6-2 record. The Chicago Bears are 7-2 after playing nine games, so a Lions win would put Detroit level with Chicago for first place in the division. A loss would leave the Lions a game behind the Bears.
The Green Bay Packers are 6-3, while the Minnesota Vikings are 6-2, and those teams are scheduled to face each other. If Detroit loses, one of them will also reach seven wins, leaving the Lions in third place.
