Amon-Ra St. Brown takes on bigger role for Lions against Cardinals
Summary

The Detroit Lions are facing the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5 of the NFL season, currently holding a 2-2 record. During the game, wide receiver Tom Kennedy suffered a knee injury and is questionable to return, prompting adjustments in the punt return strategy. Amon-Ra St. Brown returned a second-quarter punt for 30 yards before fumbling, though the Lions recovered. If Kennedy cannot return, St. Brown may see increased responsibilities in the punt return role, despite limited experience in this area during the season.
