Last year, NFL fans saw the Detroit Lions have a breakout season, tying their franchise record for the most wins in a single season with a 12-5 record. This success put the Lions in the spotlight, and Amon-Ra St. Brown’s career year was perfectly timed.

St. Brown was one of five receivers featured in Netflix’s series *Receiver*, which provided a behind-the-scenes look at the injuries receivers endure daily. However, this exposure could lead to trouble for the Lions with the NFL. Netflix Exposes Detroit Lions Concealing Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Injury

A moment from the *Receiver* series revealed previously unknown information: Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered a serious injury in Week 3. NFL rules mandate that all injuries, regardless of severity, must be reported on the team’s weekly injury report.

However, the Detroit Lions did not comply with these rules. Thanks to Netflix, it was revealed that St. Brown sustained an oblique injury in Week 3, but this was not reported before the Lions’ Week 4 game. This non-disclosure is a violation of NFL rules.

St. Brown missed the Week 5 game against the Carolina Panthers, prompting some, including Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, to speculate on possible NFL discipline for the Lions.

Despite this, the Lions will likely avoid severe punishment. Even if disciplined, it would probably be just a fine that wouldn’t significantly impact the team.
