2026 Week 7 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Amon-Ra St. Brown Ankle Injury Update

Dan Campbell expects St. Brown to play Sunday but says he'll sit out Wednesday's practice.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is dealing with an ankle injury but is expected to suit up against the Vikings in Week 8, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that St. Brown — along with cornerback Ennis Rakestraw, who also left Sunday's win over the Packers with an ankle injury — will likely skip Wednesday's practice as a precaution. Campbell's exact words: "The plan is to get them going Thursday and I think they'll be fine. They should be good, we'll see when we get there."

Watch the injury report closely heading into Week 8. St. Brown put up nine catches for 153 yards on 78 percent of the offensive snaps against Green Bay — he was clearly the engine of this offense right up until the whistle. Campbell's comments lean optimistic, and the managed practice schedule sounds like maintenance rather than a real threat to his availability. That said, "we'll see when we get there" is coach-speak that leaves the door open, so treat him as a game-time decision until he's a full participant Thursday or Friday.
