What’s done in the dark will eventually come to light, and the Detroit Lions may find that out the hard way because of what wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown publicly stated.
Amon-Ra St. Brown had audiences listening to him intently on the Netflix series Receiver, but he may have unintentionally put his team in a bad spot.
The wide receiver suffered a torn oblique muscle in Week 3 of the 2023 season, but he ended up playing the Thursday Night Football game the following week against the Green Bay Packers.
Fans and teams already know how strict the league is when it comes to reporting injuries.
Anybody who has suffered anything from illness to injury has to be included in the upcoming injury report, even if the player recovers by the end of the game week.
During the first episode of the Netflix docuseries “Receiver,” Detroit Lions star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown said, “We have a Thursday game after Atlanta,” St. Brown said during the episode, via ProFootballTalk. “So, I can barely — I mean, I’m running, but the pain is like, on a 10, it’s like at an eight. Eight or nine. And so, I’m like, ‘It’s too late for me not to play. The game plan’s in.’ Painkillers is something I really don’t like to take unless — unless it’s the Packers.”
The issue with St. Brown’s remarks is that the Lions failed to list him on the official injury report ahead of the game against the Packers.
That is a huge problem, and the league has shown in the past they will take action against teams that do this.
As for now, the NFL declined to comment on the situation when asked by Pro Football Talk‘s Mike Florio.
In Week 7 of 2023, the Atlanta Falcons did not reveal a sickness for running back Bijan Robinson and subsequently were fined $75,000, while then-head coach Arthur Smith was also fined $25,000.
In the Lions game, Amon Ra-St. Brown caught five of seven targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in a 34-20 victory over the Green Bay Packers.
He would go on to miss the next game against the Carolina Panthers with an abdomen injury.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Has Yet Another Spectacular Season For The Lions
Amon-Ra St. Brown has played so well that he has already been rewarded with a huge deal as he continues to show how dangerous he is on the field.
After recording 912 yards in his rookie season, St. Brown upped his production to 1,161 yards in his second year while reaching the Pro Bowl.
During the 2023 season, he reached All-Pro status, totaling 1,515 yards and ten touchdowns on a career-high 119 catches.
During this offseason, the Lions locked him on a four-year, $120 million contract extension.
