Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown Reveals He Had Knee Surgery This Offseason

Lions’ Amon-Ra St. Brown Reveals He Had Knee Surgery This Offseason originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

With the way the 2024 season played out for the Detroit Lions, the last thing their fans want to hear is that another one of their stars needed surgery this offseason.

Aidan Hutchinson is still working his way back after having his leg surgically repaired during the season.

Meanwhile, the team is not expecting Alim McNeill to be ready for the start of the season after he required surgery following an ACL tear.

Luckily the latest news isn’t nearly as bad as either of their injuries, but it seems the Lions did have another star undergo surgery this offseason.

While speaking to the media at OTAs, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown revealed that he had offseason knee surgery (via ESPN’s Eric Woodyard). He also said that he expects to be ready for training camp.

St. Brown showed no signs of there being anything wrong with his knee during the 2024 season.

He made 115 catches for 1263 yards and six touchdowns this past season. St. Brown even posted eight catches for 137 yards in his most recent outing, which was the team’s playoff loss to the Commanders.

The Lions will need St. Brown to be at his absolute best during the 2025 season if they are going to remain among the NFL’s elite.

With major changes coming to the interior of their offensive line, Jared Goff may find himself needing to get the ball out a bit more quickly next season.

That would likely mean more targets for St. Brown, who thrives on shorter routes with a career average depth of target of just 7.2 yards.

Hopefully this procedure will have him at 100% for the 2025 season as he potentially shoulders more responsibility for the Lions.
