After earning first-team All-Pro honors last season, the beginning of the 2025 campaign will be starting a little later than expected for Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Following practice on Thursday, St. Brown revealed that he has not been participating in the team’s offseason practices due to a knee surgery he is recovering from.
St. Brown told reporters that he’s been rehabbing since going under the knife, but believes he should be good to go when training camp gets into full swing in late July.
‘I had a surgery on my knee after the season just to clean some stuff up, so I’ve been rehabbing that, but I should be good to go for training camp,’ St. Brown told reporters.
The 25-year-old St. Brown has become one of the most reliable and high-production receivers in the NHL since breaking into the league in 2021 out of USC.
Detroit snagged him in the fourth round of that year’s NFL Draft and has cracked at least 900 receiving yards in all four of his pro seasons.

Last year, he led the team in receiving yards (1,263), receptions (115), and hit a career-high for receiving touchdowns (12).
Detroit had one of the best seasons in franchise history in 2024, but fell short of a deep playoff run.
‘At this point, we want to win a Super Bowl; that’s it,’ St. Brown said. ‘Obviously, we’ve got to make the playoffs to win the Super Bowl, but that’s understood by everyone, so, we want to win the Super Bowl. Plain and simple.’
The Lions won 15 games and captured a second consecutive NFC North title.
Detroit’s offense is set to look different in 2025 after the departure of free agents Allen Robinson and Kevin Zeitler as well as the retirement of Frank Ragnow.
