Lions’ Amon-Ra St. Brown Leaves Thanksgiving Game With Ankle Injury, Listed Week-to-Week

Early evaluations point to a low-ankle sprain with no injured-reserve move planned.

Overview

  • St. Brown was injured in the first quarter against the Packers when teammates rolled into his legs while he was blocking, and he was ruled out early in the second half.
  • Head coach Dan Campbell said the injury does not appear "long, long-term" and estimated a potential absence of a week or two pending further evaluation.
  • NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the belief that it is a low-ankle sprain and that St. Brown is considered week-to-week and unlikely to be placed on injured reserve.
  • Independent medical analyst Jesse Morse cautioned, based on video review, that there could be high-ankle and lateral knee involvement, a view that remains unconfirmed until imaging and team updates.
  • The Lions’ top receiver leads the team with 75 catches for 884 yards and nine touchdowns, and his absence compounds the loss of tight end Sam LaPorta as Detroit turns next to the Cowboys on Thursday before a longer break ahead of the Rams.
