The Detroit Lions will have to find a way to come back against the rival Green Bay Packers without one of their best offensive weapons, as wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been ruled out for the remainder of Detroit's Thanksgiving matchup due to an ankle injury.
On the second drive of the game, St. Brown was rolled up on from behind while blocking on a run play. The star wideout remained on the turf for a few minutes while he was evaluated by trainers. Eventually, St. Brown got up and walked off the field and straight to the locker room. He was initially listed as questionable to return, but was officially ruled out in the third quarter.
In 11 games this season, St. Brown has caught 75 passes for 884 yards and nine touchdowns. The Lions are already without tight end Sam LaPorta today, who was placed on injured reserve earlier this month with a back injury, and wide receiver Kalif Raymond, who is inactive with an ankle injury.
Dan Campbell will call upon Jameson Williams, Tom Kennedy, plus the rookies Isaac TeSlaa and Dominic Lovett, to potentially step up in St. Brown's absence.
