Dan Campbell Gives Injury Update for Amon-Ra St. Brown, Ennis Rakestraw
Dan Campbell provides encouraging injury updates on Amon-Ra St. Brown and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. following Detroit's victory over Green Bay.
The Detroit Lions shared a hopeful injury update on Monday following their 20-17 win against the Green Bay Packers. Head coach Dan Campbell discussed the status of wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr., both of whom suffered ankle injuries during Sunday's game. Campbell expressed optimism that neither injury will require a significant absence.
The Lions are optimistic both players will return to practice on Thursday as they prepare for another crucial NFC North matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Amon-Ra St. Brown recorded a standout performance against Green Bay, catching nine passes for 153 yards, contributing to Jared Goff's impressive 303 yards and two touchdowns.
The Lions have been gradually increasing Rakestraw's playing time despite his injury history, and the organization believes his latest setback may not significantly impact his progress. The team plans to give both players a day off on Wednesday before attempting to have them back on the practice field on Thursday. If St. Brown and Rakestraw return to practice as expected, Detroit will have reason to feel optimistic as they head into their upcoming game against Minnesota.
