ALLEN PARK, Mich. — First-Team All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown hasn't been participating in the Detroit Lions' off-season practices after undergoing an offseason knee surgery. However, he anticipates being ready for training camp in late July.
«I had a surgery on my knee after the season just to clean some stuff up, so I've been rehabbing that, but I should be good to go for training camp,» St. Brown said following Thursday's practice. St. Brown, 25, is entering his fifth season as one of the league's premier receivers.

Lions coach Dan Campbell and St. Brown say they're ready for the challenge as they look forward to training camp next month.
