ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions have racked up 1,227 yards of offense through three games. On Sunday, they're going to be without two players responsible for nearly half that production, ruling out wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and running back D'Andre Swift on Friday.
St. Brown suffered an ankle injury in last Sunday's game against Minnesota. Despite finishing the contest after getting it taped up, he's been unable to practice this week, putting him on track to miss the first game of his young career.
St. Brown finished with six catches for 73 yards, snapping an NFL record streak of eight games with at least eight receptions. For the season, he's hauled in 23 passes for 253 yards and three touchdowns, while carrying the ball two times for another 68 yards.
