Amon-Ra St. Brown Hauls In Seven Passes Sunday
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown turned eight targets into seven catches for 75 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Jahmyr Gibbs Capitalizes On Savvy Play In Week 3
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 16 times for 83 yards during Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. He didn't catch a pass in the contest, but he did take a lateral from Amon-Ra St. Brown for an extra 20 yards into the end zone. He finished the day with over 100 scrimmage yards […]

Sam LaPorta Has A Sprained Ankle
According to Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell, tight end Sam LaPorta (ankle) suffered a sprain during Sunday's win over the Cardinals. The 23-year-old was carted to the locker room, so fantasy managers were expecting the worst. However, he returned to the field in the second half, although he was still visibly hobbled by the […]
Derrick Barnes Injured In Week 3
Detroit Lions linebacker Derrick Barnes (knee) didn't return to Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. He suffered a knee injury due to a chop block and needed to be carted to the locker room. Barnes totaled nine tackles entering Week 3. But if the injury keeps him on the shelf, Malcolm Rodriguez would be in […]
Sam LaPorta Returns On Sunday
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (undisclosed) returned to Sunday's game against the Cardinals. There wasn't much information about the injury when it happened, although it didn't look good, considering LaPorta was taken to the locker room on a cart. Surprisingly, he's back in. With that in mind, there will still be more information on […]
Sam LaPorta Carted To The Locker Room
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (undisclosed) was carted to the locker room in Sunday's matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Details are limited at this time. However, his day is likely over.
