The Detroit Lions have suffered another key injury on Thanksgiving Day, as star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown went down against the Green Bay Packers during the Week 13 NFL game.
St. Brown was blocking for running back Jahmyr Gibbs in the first quarter when two Lions players rolled into the back of his legs.
He was taken to the locker room with a trainer, but did not need the cart. The Lions announced on social media that he is questionable to return with an ankle injury, but officially ruled him out in the second half.

Jimmy Liao, who writes injury analysis for Lions Wire , said St. Brown's ankle was rolled up on and it's "more likely" a low ankle sprain. Liao said St. Brown has "a decent chance of returning" if the X-rays are negative, but he ultimately wasn't able to return.
The Lions were already without wide receiver Kalif Raymond and tight end Sam LaPorta , clouding the passing game situation even more.
The Lions have a quick turnaround, next playing the following Thursday, Dec. 4, hosting the Dallas Cowboys.
St. Brown's availability will be a major topic for the week between the games, as the Lions' offense isn't the same without their crafty slot receiver.
