The playmaker immediately went to the locker room, and when he left at the beginning of the third quarter, he had not yet returned to the game.

At the time of his injury, St. Brown had 75 catches (on 107 targets) for 884 yards and nine touchdowns. He was second in the NFL in touchdown catches, fourth in the NFL in receiving yards and sixth in receptions. Yes, he is an elite player, dear readers.
