Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown has withdrawn from the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games due to an undisclosed injury.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown won’t be at this week’s Pro Bowl, as the All-Pro receiver has apparently withdrawn from the event due to an undisclosed injury. He is the second Lions player to remove himself from the games, joining All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell.
St. Brown had another fantastic season in 2024. While he fell short of last year’s totals in yardage and catches, he set a new career-high with 12 touchdowns (and a touchdown pass). Among all other NFL receivers, St. Brown finished 2024 second in catches (115), fifth in receiving yards (1,263), and third in touchdowns. He was named First-Team All Pro for the second consecutive season and was third among NFC receivers in Pro Bowl voting.
The Pro Bowl Games won’t quite be the same without St. Brown, who has been a participant each of the past two years. In 2023, Brown won the Best Catch competition at the Pro Bowl Games. Last year, St. Brown participated in the games’ Dodgeball event and the flag football game. During the game, St. Brown pulled in 10 catches for 117 yards and a touchdown (yes, I looked up Pro Bowl stats. It’s the offseason).
St. Brown will be replaced by Giants rookie receiver Malik Nabers.
While the 2025 Pro Bowl roster has yet to be finalized publicly, the following Lions players are expected to make an appearance as of this publication: quarterback Jared Goff, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, left tackle Taylor Decker (filling in for Sewell), center Frank Ragnow, safety Brian Branch, and punter Jack Fox.
