Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is inactive for today's game against the Panthers due to an abdomen injury. He did not practice all week and was listed as doubtful. It remains to be seen if he will be able to return for Week 6. With St. Brown out, there are opportunities for other Lions receivers to step up, including Josh Reynolds, Kalif Raymond, Jameson Williams, and Marvin Jones. Tight end Sam LaPorta could also benefit from St. Brown's absence. However, the Lions are expected to focus on a run-heavy attack against the Panthers' weak run defense.
