Ford Field, Detroit, MI
Amon-Ra St. Brown - Injury severity downplayedCoach Dan Campbell said Monday that St. Brown (lower leg) "will be good" and has a soft-tissue injury, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.
ImpactSt. Brown was forced out of Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers with roughly 30 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and missed the Lions' final five plays, but it looks like the team expects him to be available Week 3 against the Cardinals. After a quiet Week 1, St. Brown bounced back with 11 catches for 119 yards on 19 targets versus Tampa Bay. More information on his status will arrive Wednesday at the latest, when Detroit's first official injury report of Week 3 is released.

Vita Vea - Considered day-to-dayVea is dealing with a Grade 2 MCL sprain and will have a chance to play in Week 3, after suffering the injury in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' o...
ImpactVea was expected to undergo an MRI on Monday, which likely led to this diagnosis. The potentially quick return for the Washington product would be great news for the Buccaneers' defensive front, with Vea being one of the premier run-stoppers in the game. A final verdict on his ability to play in Week 3 against the Broncos probably won't be available until closer to kickoff Sunday though.

Rachaad White - Has minor groin injuryWhite sustained a groin injury during Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions but the issue is not considered major, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ImpactWhite was effectively contained by Detroit on Sunday, rushing just 10 times for 18 yards while securing his only target for five yards. He picked up the groin issue in the first half and was briefly forced off the field, but the starting running back managed to return without missing much time. White's injury doesn't currently seem likely to impact his availability versus the Broncos in Week 3, but he's averaging a paltry 2.0 YPC through two games to begin the 2024 season. If White's groin issue seems to hamper him as a runner in practice this week, Tampa Bay could elect to give Bucky Irving more opportunities on the ground versus Denver.
