Amon-Ra St. Brown injury: No long-term concern after early exit by Detroit Lions top WR

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said there is no long-term worry for star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown after he left the final drive of the 20-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers loss early.

"He's alright," Campbell said. "I don't think it is anything long-term, so that's good news."

St. Brown left the field after hauling in a 9-yard catch over the middle on the first play of the Lions ' final drive with 30 seconds left. He stayed down after making a catch while going to the ground, then exited the playing field with a trainer. He stayed on the sideline while the Lions' medical team stretched his legs into the air. He received treatment for the final six plays as the Lions' offense ran out of steam and turned it over on downs.

The final catch capped off a strong day for the Lions' All-Pro receiver. St. Brown finished as the game's top wideout with 11 catches for 119 yards in a bounce-back performance after being held to three catches for 13 yards in the season opener.

Campbell also said rookie cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr. suffered a hamstring injury in pregame warmups, making him a scratch just before the Lions submitted their inactive list to the league.

"It happened in pregame, just a little hamstring so I don't know," Campbell said. "That happened literally four minutes before we had to turn in the inactive (list) so we were up against the clock."

Campbell did not provide an update on linebacker Alex Anzalone, who was ruled out after entering concussion protocol in the fourth quarter. Anzalone appeared to be injured after colliding with Derrick Barnes on Baker Mayfield's touchdown run at the end of the third quarter.
