Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown Is Questionable for Munich With a Rib Injury

By , LionsCountry ·

Lions fans, this is the one we didn't want. Amon-Ra St. Brown is officially questionable for Sunday in Munich.

Our Take: Of all the games for the Sun God to be banged up, it had to be this one. We'd rather see him sit than make a rib injury worse, but this offense is a different animal with him on the field.

The Lions' official injury report lists St. Brown with a rib injury. He was limited on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The team noted Friday was a walkthrough, so that day's participation was an estimate. Detroit Sports Nation called his status one of the biggest storylines heading into kickoff.

Running back Sione Vaki (ankle) is also questionable after returning to limited work Friday. Kerby Joseph, Cade Mays and D.J. Reed are out.

The good news: Jared Goff practiced fully Thursday and Friday after being limited Wednesday with a chest injury, and he carries no game designation. Brian Branch also finished the week with back-to-back full practices. Dan Campbell downplayed the Goff injury at his Friday press conference in Germany, per Detroit Sports Nation.

What to watch: St. Brown's status before the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff against the Patriots at Allianz Arena, and who steps up in the passing game if he's limited.
