Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is off to an uncharacteristically slow start in the Week 6 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Through the first five games, St. Brown has tallied 407 receiving yards and six touchdowns, putting him well on his way to another elite season.

However, St. Brown isn't off to the kind of start you'd expect for an elite wide receiver in the Week 6 contest versus Kansas City.

Here's a closer look at what's going on with Brown against the Chiefs.

Is Amon-Ra St. Brown playing tonight?

UPDATE: St. Brown recorded his first catch of more than one yard on the Lions' final offensive series of the first half, but it only went for three yards.

Through one half of play, St. Brown has three catches for four yards and one carry for two yards.

END OF UPDATE

UPDATE: The rough night for St. Brown continues, as he had a crucial drop on fourth down on the Lions' third offensive series of the game.

We refuse to believe this won't be St. Brown's night, but it isn't looking good so far.

END OF UPDATE

UPDATE: St. Brown recorded his second catch on the Lions' second offensive series, but it only went for a minimal gain.

St. Brown is now up to two catches for one yard and one carry for two yards.

END OF UPDATE

Yes, St. Brown is active and in the lineup on Sunday night.

On the first drive, St. Brown received one carry, which he took for two yards, and he did catch a pass, but he wasn't credited with any yards because he lateraled the ball back to Jahmyr Gibbs.

Hopefully St. Brown gets going on the Lions' second drive of the game.
